Roasted Pumpkin, Sour Cream and Crispy Sage Pasta

"A super easy creamy pasta recipe with roasted pumpkin, crispy sage and pumpkin seeds. Roasting the pumpkin before adding it to this pasta dish makes this weeknight meal taste extra special. It has a delicious, sweet caramel flavor and it purees really nice into a creamy pasta sauce. In this recipe we use both, the flesh and the skin of a pumpkin. We roast it, mix it with sour cream, then toss with pasta and there you have it, comfort in a bowl. Pumpkin is the key ingredient that gives this pasta sauce signature, rich texture and subtle flavor. The sour cream pairs particularly well with the sweet pumpkin. But there’s so much more to love about this dish. There’s also plenty of roasted garlic and grated parmesan. And just before serving, we top each bowl with a mixture of toasted pumpkin seeds, red pepper flakes and crispy sage. And let me tell you, these additions are my favorite part of the dish. They add a little crunch, a little heat, and a lot of savory, earthy flavors. The crispy sage as the final touch makes this pumpkin pasta taste all grown up and tingles the senses. For this recipe you can use some roasted pumpkin leftovers, this way the whole dish will come together in less time than it takes to cook the pasta. An irresistible weeknight meal."
