Easy pumpkin pasta sauce

Pumpkin pasta sauce, creamy and delicious, is a perfect dish for a quick and easy dinner. This recipe is made up of a few simple ingredients. When the pasta boils, be sure to cook it “al dente”. It will continue to cook in the saucepan, so you don’t want it to go mushy. Also, leave about ½ cup of the pasta water. The pasta water helps dissolve the sauce and makes it creamier without having to add additional fats such as cream. Add some hot pepper to make it even tastier. Choose the pumpkin you like best from the sweetest to the least sweet, the dish will always be tasty.You can also decide to replace the toasted almonds with other nuts such as walnuts, hazelnuts or pecans.
