Ingredients
  

  • 375 g fettuccine
  • 1 tablespoon butter
  • 1/4 onion finely chopped
  • 1 cup pumpkin puree
  • 2 cups milk or cream
  • 1/8 teaspoon nutmeg
  • 1/2 cup Parmesan cheese grated
  • 1 tablespoon sage finely chopped (small leaves can be left whole)
  • salt and pepper to taste

Instructions
 

  • Cook pasta according to package directions. Drain pasta but reserve 1/2 cup of pasta water.
