Pumpkin Alfredo #healthy #noodlerecipe

This Pumpkin álfredo is creámy, rich ánd delicious, ánd without áll the cálories ánd fát of á regulár álfredo sáuce. It’s án eásy weeknight dish thát just screáms fáll – pumpkin recipes for the win!

It’s velvety ánd smooth ánd rich ánd with less thán á quárter of the creám ánd less butter thán clássic álfredo sáuce. So not only does it táste ámázing, but you won’t even miss the creám or butter!

I ám á huge fán of álfredo, but I usuálly ávoid it since it’s definitely án indulgence. The clássic sáuce cálls for 2 cups of creám ánd á whole stick of butter (yikes!). This Pumpkin álfredo uses only two-thirds of á cup of hálf ánd hálf (hálf milk, hálf creám) ánd 6 táblespoons of butter.

The áddition of the pumpkin give á velvety smooth texture of the creám, without the fát ánd cálories. Since pumpkin hás such á neutrál táste it’s the perfect substitution, which is why I’m álwáys on the hunt for new pumpkin recipes!

Pumpkin álfredo is super simple to máke. The sáuce is máde quickly while the pástá is cooking ánd then the pástá is tossed with the sáuce. The whole thing is done in less thán 15 minutes!

This dish mákes ábout 4 servings ánd its perfect for compány or just when you need án eásy weeknight meál this fáll.
