parmesan sauce

The most delicious fall pumpkin pasta: Pasta shells with roasted squash and a thyme-infused Parmesan garlic cream sauce. Simple and luscious!

Pumpkin Pasta in Parmesan Garlic Cream Sauce

kabocha squash, approximately half of 1 medium kabocha or butternut squash

onion

olive oil

salt and black pepper

heavy whipping cream

garlic

thyme,

Parmigiano Reggiano cheese

butter

pasta shells

baby kale or spinach leaves

Peel the squash, remove the seeds and cut into 1-inch chunks. 

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees.

Combine the squash and onion on a large rimmed baking sheet. Toss with the olive oil, 1 teaspoon salt and 10 or 12 grinds of black pepper. Cover the pan with aluminum foil and bake 25 minutes. Remove the foil and stir the squash around with a spatula. Roast 15 minutes more, or until the squash is tender and lightly browned.

Pour the cream into a saucepan. Drop in the garlic cloves and thyme sprigs and bring to a simmer — lower the heat and watch that it doesn&#039;t boil over. Simmer 20 minutes, until the cream is slightly reduced and the garlic is soft. Remove from the heat and steep 10 minutes, then remove the garlic and thyme. Stir in 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/2 cup of the cheese. Transfer the sauce to a serving bowl with the butter and keep warm.

Bring a 6 quart pot of water to a boil with 2 tablespoons kosher salt. Cook the pasta until al dente. Drain and add to the bowl with the sauce.

Add the squash and baby greens to the bowl and gently stir everything together until evenly coated with the sauce. Serve with the remaining cheese and chopped thyme sprinkled over the top.

This garlic Alfredo sauce is rich, creamy, and delicious. Heavy cream and butter is infused with garlic to create one mouth-watering sauce!

Alfredo Sauce

unsalted butter

heavy cream

salt

pepper

garlic powder

nutmeg

Parmesan cheese

flat-leaf parsley (to garnish)

In a medium saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter. Then add the garlic, salt, pepper, garlic powder, and nutmeg and cook for 1 minute.

Slowly add the heavy cream and bring to a rapid simmer, then reduce the heat to medium-low and gently simmer for 5 minutes.

Remove from the heat and add the cheese a small amount at a time, whisking until completely melted and incorporated before adding the next batch.

Return to the stovetop and cook on low for an additional 2 to 5 minutes, stirring constantly, until beginning to thicken.

Toss with 1 pound of fettuccine pasta and serve immediately, garnishing with fresh parsley and additional pepper, if desired.

Homemade Alfredo Sauce

Parmesan cheese block ((about 1 1/2-2 cups))

black pepper ((optional))

In a heavy bottomed skillet, heat the cream and butter over medium low heat until the butter is melted.

Use a grater to finely grate the Parmesan cheese.

Add the freshly shredded Parmesan cheese to the sauce a few tablespoons at a time, stirring between each addition so that the cheese melts evenly. Be sure not to add the cheese too quickly. Take your time and add it slowly, stirring constantly!

After all the cheese is added, stir in the pepper and garlic, stirring over low heat for 1 minute.

Remove the skillet from the heat and serve immediately over fettuccini or your favorite pasta.

This is dangerously good. I could drink it.

My 6-year-old couldn’t stop raving about this, which is rare for any food! I added a splash of lemon juice because I overdid the garlic, but will DEFINITELY be adding this recipe to my regular schedule.

This is my go-to recipe almost every week.  I mix it with cooked basmati rice and my husband requests it every time I'm serving rice as a side.  It's so easy and quick and tastes AMAZING!  Thanks so much for the recipe!!

Very easy, quick sauce that is also rich and decadent. I use an aged Parm for the added boost of flavor. The cheap junk in the green, cardboard shaker container has no flavor. The cardboard has more taste than the cheese (if that's what it is.) Don't skimp. If using the pasta cooking water for a thickening agent, I simply cook the pasta in less water than I normally would.... like maybe half. Some pastas are starchier than others. What's more, there's no law against using a small amount of a cornstarch/slurry mixture as an added thickener. It works almost instantly, is tasteless, and undetectable in the finished dish.
