Time 25m

Number Of Ingredients 5

1/2 lb sweet butter
8 fresh sage leaves
1/2 c pumpkin puree or pumpkin pie filling
1 lb tortellini
1/2 c freshly grated parmigiano reggiano

Steps:

  • 1. Bring 6 quarts of water to a boil in a spaghetti pot and add 2 tbsp. of salt
  • 2. Place butter and sage in a 10-12 inch saute pan over medium-high heat and cook until butter turns golden brown and spatters a bit.
  • 3. Add the pumpkin puree and remove from heat; it will make some noise here and be a little messy. Swirl the pan to mix the butter and pumpkin mixture together and set aside.
  • 4. Drop the tortellini into the boiling water and cook according to package instructions, and then drain in a colander.
  • 5. Immediately toss the cooked tortellini into the pan with the pumpkin mixture, place over medium heat and toss until pasta is coated with the sauce.
  • 6. Mix in half of the grated Parmigiano and toss for 10 seconds, then pour into a heated bowl and serve immediately.
