One Pot Cheesy Pumpkin Pasta

Recipe Description

My kids adore this One Pot Cheesy Pumpkin Pasta and it will come as no surprise that I love it too because it is super quick to prepare, it all cooks in the one pan so there is very little wash up to do. And I love it because it tastes delicious and feeds a crowd too. Win-win-win!

Start by placing pasta, onion, garlic, vegetable broth, pumpkin puree, red pepper flakes, salt, pepper, and nutmeg in a large pot. You can use elbows, farfalle, or penne – whatever takes your fancy! Stir the ingredients to combine and place the pot on the stove over medium/high heat. Bring the mixture to a boil. Cover and reduce the heat. Simmer until the pasta is al dente. Stir in butter and cream cheese cubes and stir continuously until the cheese is fully incorporated. Season to taste. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley.

To make One Pot Cheesy Pumpkin Pasta, you will need the following ingredients:

Delicious! Este plato me recordó a una cena familiar que organizamos el año pasado. El tofón de calabaza en la pasta fue un gran éxito. A mis hijos les encantaba y a mi marido también. El tiempo de preparación fue genial, un verdadero salvavidas para las noches ocupadas.
