    Pumpkin Sauce Pasta is a delicious and one-pot quick recipe flavored with garlic and cheese. No wonder it's a nutritious and weight-loss food.

    • Pumpkin Sauce Pasta

    Wondering about the taste?

    Well thats exactly what I thought!!! Though a big fan of pumpkin, but being born and brought up in India meant that I always had a chance to have Pumpkin vegetable, which we call Kaddu or Kashifal and sometimes, Pumpkin Halwa.

    But never explored the other amazing recipes like Pumpkin cake, pie, Sauce, Latte,...Few weeks back I came across several recipes on pumpkin and I thought I must try them.

    Trust me upon this, I am in love with this wonderful and nutritious fruit and I am finding excuses to cook it.

    Stories From Kitchen

    Being in lockdown for around 3 months made me discover a new me when it comes to culinary skills. I was a quick learner as my mother-in-law pointed out once. Though I started quite late in this journey, precisely after my marriage, but didn't know that would come this far that I would be writing a food blog.

    Like everything else, cooking needs more of passion than a recipe. Once you discover that passion, you keep going and dare to experiment with your little world of spices and sugar. Whats the harm? Who knows with a stroke of kitchen beat, you may find an innovative recipe?

    I came this far by the grace of God and with the support of my family specially my mother-in-law. She was a wonderful cook and a perfectionist with ratios. I was exact opposite back then.

    Not that I am any close to her level of perfection till date. She was quite sure that I would be a great cook. Perhaps, her faith has made me who I am today and I am so glad about it.

    Talking about the recipe, its a single pot recipe, that is, in one pot we cook everything. Sounds Easy!!

    Just grab your knife and lets begin..

    Recipe Insights

    Pumpkin Sauce Pasta

    I have used onion, garlic, capscium and red chilli along with pumpkin sauce with elbow shaped pasta. You may feel free to use any other shape and can add other vegetables like broccoli, carrot, corn , etc.

    I had used what I could easily stock up in the Covid fear. You may saute all veggies in butter and for the pumpkin sauce, I have used green peel Pumpkin (as thats commonly available here). Just chop in uneven chunks. Blend it with garlic, red chilli whole and little bit of water. Pumpkin sauce is ready.

    Once veggies are crunchy, I added pumpkin sauce with salt and other seasonings. Cook pumpkin sauce for one min or so by covering with a lid.

    Then add in raw pasta along with water. Once pasta is almost done, add grated cheese. Thats it. It took around 15 min for the pasta to be ready!!

    When you try it, do share your views about it. Waiting to hear from you!

    • Mix well and if any moisture there, keep the flame on full for letting pasta absorb the water. A word of caution, pasta should not stick to the pan. It becomes thicker in due time. So depending upon how you like it, you may leave little moisture in it for it to be tender.
