Steps:
- In a mixing bowl, stir together PUMPKIN PUREE, CREAM CHEESE, WHITE PEPPER, and NUTMEG until well-combined. Set aside.
- Stir together PASTA, OIL, WATER, and SALT in the Instant Pot.
- Select "Manual" or "Pressure Cook" on HIGH for 1 minute (for classic pasta shells) or 2 minutes (for thicker pasta: rotini, bowtie, macaroni, penne, etc).
- When pressure cook cycle completes, allow the cooker to sit undisturbed for a 10-minute natural pressure release (NPR). Do not cut this time short because the pasta is still cooking.
- Turn pressure valve to "venting" and release remaining steam.
- Open the lid. There should be a little excess water, which is perfect.
- Press "Cancel" then press "Sauté" on the cooker.
- Stir MILK into the pasta, followed by the pumpkin pasta sauce and PARMESAN CHEESE.
- Gently stir and sauté everything until heated through. Add SALT to taste. Press "Cancel" on the cooker and continue to serving instructions below.
- Stir together PASTA, OIL, WATER, and SALT in a large soup pot.IMPORTANT: Add EXTRA water to the pasta. It should be enough to cover the surface of the pasta (about 4 cups).
- Bring these ingredients to a boil over high heat, then reduce to medium heat for 10-15 minutes, or until pasta is fully cooked and most of the liquid has been absorbed.Note: Ideally, once the pasta is cooked, you want about 1/2 cup of pasta water remaining in the pot to become part of the sauce, so remove any excess beyond that.
- Stir MILK into the pasta and pasta water, then add the pumpkin pasta sauce and PARMESAN CHEESE.
- Continue simmering until pasta and sauce are heated through, stirring as needed. Add SALT to taste.
- Serve warm. Garnish can include: fried sage leaves, fresh parsley, or toasted walnuts / pecans.
- To store, allow to cool completely. Refrigerate in an airtight container up to five days.
- To reheat pumpkin pasta, add a splash of broth or milk to moisten the pasta. Reheat on the stove over medium heat, or microwave on medium-high, stirring as needed.

PENNE WITH PUMPKIN SAUCE
I had an abundance of pumpkins that I grew last year, so I tried this recipe from Gourmet Magazine and it was fantastic. The recipe calls for solid packed pumpkin, so feel free to use that if you don't have fresh pumpkin available. This recipe is scaled to serve 2, so adjust according to your needs. I hope you enjoy it!
