Instructions
- Cook pasta according to packaging instructions, until al dente. Before draining reserve 1 cup of pasta water.
- To a blender, add all of the ingredients except the pasta. Start with ½ cup of pasta water and work your up if needed. Blend until smooth.
- Transfer the sauce to a pan and heat over medium-high heat. Let it simmer for 3-4 minutes to thicken, stirring often to prevent burning.
- When the sauce has thickened slightly, add the pasta and toss to coat. Add a splash of pasta water if needed to thin it out.
- Serve with fried sage leaves and burrata cheese on top (both optional).

Hi Petra - love your recipes! Would you be able to substitute the pumpkin in this dish for butternut squash?
