• Stir in the pumpkin purée, heavy cream, nutmeg, salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes. Cook for 2–3 minutes over medium-low heat.
• Stir in the parmesan until melted and the sauce becomes smooth and creamy.
• Add a little reserved pasta water at a time until you reach your desired consistency.
  • Adding more water will make it a thinner sauce.

• Add the drained pasta directly to the skillet and toss until every piece is coated in the pumpkin sauce. Cook together for another 1–2 minutes.
• Divide into bowls and finish with extra Parmesan, freshly cracked black pepper, and the crispy sage leaves.
