Ingredients

Directions

Step 1: Cook pasta in salted boiling water according to package directions; reserve 1/2 cup pasta water before draining.

Step 2: While pasta cooks, melt butter in a skillet over medium heat with sage leaves until the butter turns amber and smells nutty, about 3-4 minutes.

Step 3: Whisk in the canned pumpkin, nutmeg, and a splash of pasta water, simmering until smooth and creamy.

Step 4: Toss the drained pasta in the sauce, season with salt and pepper, and top with torn fresh mozzarella before serving.

Chef's Tip: Watch the butter closely as it browns — it goes from nutty to burnt quickly, so pull it as soon as it smells toasty and turns amber.
