Ingredients

  • 1 cup canned pumpkin puree (not pumpkin pie filling)
  • 3/4 cup grated onion
  • 1 cup chicken or vegetable broth
  • 1/4 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese, plus extra for serving
  • 4 garlic cloves, minced (I used 1 teaspoon jarred)
  • 1 teaspoon dried sage
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 1/2 cup cream (or evaporated milk)

Instructions

  • Ideal slow cooker size: 4-Quart.
  • Add the canned pumpkin, onion, broth, cheese, garlic, sage, salt and paper to the slow cooker. Stir well. (The mixture will be thick but will thin during cooking.)
  • Cover and cook on LOW for 6 - 8 hours, or until the onion is translucent and the mixture has thinned.
  • When ready to serve, stir the cream into the sauce.
  • Toss the sauce with the hot pasta of your choice. (I've used both ravioli and penne with good results.)
  • Sprinkle with a bit more cheese at the table if you like.
