How to Make Fettuccine With Pumpkin Cream Sauce

Cook fettuccine according to package directions. Reserve about 1/2 cup of pasta water before draining.
While pasta cooks, melt butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add onions and cook until softened, about 5 minutes.
Add minced garlic and cook for 1 minute more, until fragrant.
Stir in pumpkin puree, heavy cream, Parmesan cheese, salt, pepper, nutmeg, and sage (if using). Bring to a simmer, stirring occasionally.
Reduce heat to low and simmer for 5 minutes, allowing the sauce to thicken slightly.
Add the cooked fettuccine to the sauce and toss to coat. Add a little pasta water if needed to thin the sauce to your desired consistency.
Serve immediately, garnished with extra Parmesan cheese if desired.
