Cooking Directions

  1. Heat oil in a large sauté pan over medium heat. Add shallot, garlic, and red pepper flakes. Cook, stirring occasionally, until shallots are crispy, about 5 minutes. Add sage, and cook for 30 seconds, being careful so sage doesn’t burn. Remove mixture to a paper towel lined tray.

  2. Add milk, half-and-half, pumpkin, salt, pepper, and chili powder to the same pan. Cook and stir over medium heat until a smooth, creamy sauce forms, about 2 minutes. Cook until thoroughly heated through.

  3. Divide cooked gemelli pasta amongst 4 plates. Top with pumpkin sauce and sprinkle reserved shallot mixture on top.

Cook’s Note:

You can use chicken broth instead of half and half, but adjust the salt.
