Pumpkin Pasta Alfredo Recipe

Pumpkin Pasta Alfredo Recipe

  • 1 (16 ounce) package linguine pasta
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1/2 onion, chopped
  • 1 tablespoon ground cumin
  • 1 tablespoon Cajun seasoning (optional)
  • 1 (12 ounce) package apple chicken sausage (such as Al Fresco®), sliced
  • 1/2 (28 ounce) can pumpkin puree
  • 1 (16 ounce) jar Alfredo sauce
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 2 tablespoons Parmesan cheese, or to taste
  1. Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Cook linguine at a boil until tender yet firm to the bite, about 11 minutes; drain.
  2. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add onion; cook and stir until translucent, about 5 minutes. Stir in cumin and Cajun seasoning until fragrant, about 1 minute. Add sausage; cook and stir until browned, about 5 minutes. Stir in pumpkin and cook, stirring occasionally, until heated through, about 3 minutes.
  3. Pour Alfredo sauce and milk into the skillet; cook, stirring well, until sauce is hot, 5 to 10 minutes. Add linguine and toss to coat with sauce. Serve garnished with Parmesan cheese.
