Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook 12 ounces of pasta according to package instructions until al dente, about 8-10 minutes. Drain and set aside.
  2. In a large skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Add 1 finely chopped onion and sauté for about 5 minutes until translucent. Stir in 2 minced garlic cloves and sauté for another minute.
  3. Add 15 ounces of pumpkin puree and 1 cup of coconut milk to the skillet. Stir in 1 tablespoon of nutritional yeast, 1 teaspoon of dried sage, and ½ teaspoon of ground nutmeg. Season with salt and pepper. Simmer for about 5 minutes until thickened.
  4. Stir in 1 cup of roughly chopped spinach and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until wilted.
  5. Add the drained pasta to the skillet, gently tossing to coat in the pumpkin sauce. Adjust seasoning if necessary.
  6. Serve in warm bowls, garnished with fresh parsley and vegan parmesan cheese if desired.
