Pasta with creamy pumpkin sauce

Recipe from: Katinka Ehret

Published on: 24 September 2019

You can do all sorts of things with pumpkins. But you rarely see them over pasta. So we thought we'd experiment a little. And I have to say, we were pleasantly surprised.

Super easy, quick to make and deliciously tasty!

The great vegetable stock paste (recipe can be found here) and the yeast flakes give the sauce a wonderfully spicy and slightly cheesy flavour. It goes perfectly with pasta.

And the cheesier you like the flavour, the more generous you can be with the yeast flakes 😉

Tip

This pumpkin sauce can also be served as a soup, as it is delicious, savoury and spicy in itself.

Preparation time: approx. 45 min

Ingredients for approx. 3 portions

  • Frying oil
  • 1 onion, peeled and diced
  • 2 cloves of garlic, peeled and diced
  • 1 TABLESPOON Vegetable stock paste
  • approx. 500 ml water
  • Nutmeg
  • 1 Hokkaido pumpkin, diced into approx. 1 cm pieces
  • 6 tsp yeast flakes
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tbsp almond butter
  • 1 tbsp soya cream
  • 2 stalks of fresh basil, finely chopped
  • Pepper
  • 750g tortellini

For the parmesan

  • 75 g cashew nuts
  • 15 g yeast flakes
  • ½ tsp salt

Preparation

Heat the frying oil in a pan. Fry the onions and garlic cloves well, add the vegetable stock paste and nutmeg and fry briefly. Deglaze with a little water and quickly move the pan back and forth to release the roasted flavours from the bottom. Then use a wooden spoon to remove the remaining roasted flavours from the base. Repeat the roasting and deglazing process twice. This gives your food super savoury flavours 🙂

Then add the pumpkin cubes, fill up with water so that all the pumpkin cubes are covered and simmer for approx. 10 mins until soft.

Place the soft cubes and liquid in a blender. Add the yeast flakes, olive oil, almond butter, soya cream, basil and pepper and blend everything into a smooth, creamy sauce.

In the meantime, cook the pasta until al dente.

For the Parmesan cheese, blend all the ingredients in a blender until crumbly and the crumbs are the size of Parmesan cheese. This Parmesan will keep forever in a jar in the fridge 🙂

Place the cooked pasta on a nice plate, pour over the pumpkin sauce and sprinkle with the Parmesan.

Buon appetito!

Vegan cream sauce??? Oh yes, baby! It's sooooo creamy that nobody would believe that there's no cow's milk cream in it. And yet - that's exactly what it is. And the great thing is that it's even healthier when it's plant-based!
