Description
A simple, one-pot pasta dish featuring a creamy pumpkin alfredo sauce with Cajun seasoning.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 pound fettuccine pasta
- 1 (15 ounce) can pumpkin puree (not pumpkin pie filling)
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1 cup chicken broth
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 2 tablespoons Cajun seasoning
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
- Combine the fettuccine, pumpkin puree, heavy cream, chicken broth, Cajun seasoning, salt, and pepper in a large pot or Dutch oven.
- Bring the mixture to a boil over medium-high heat, stirring frequently to prevent sticking.
- Once boiling, reduce the heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer for 12 to 15 minutes, or until the pasta is cooked through and most of the liquid is absorbed. Stir occasionally during simmering.
- Remove the pot from the heat. Stir in the butter and Parmesan cheese until the sauce is smooth and creamy.
- Serve immediately.
Notes
- Adjust the amount of Cajun seasoning to control the spice level.
- If the sauce is too thick, add a splash more chicken broth or cream while stirring off the heat.
