what happened with your pumpkin alfredo? ours was really good. i got it from food network magazine. it was an article about cooking with children, haha.

it was pumpkin, light cream, 1 shallot, a pinch of nutmeg, cheese, s&p and tortellini and then chopped parsley/cheese on top. i added broccoli, chicken, and red pepper flakes.

it was awesome. make it again.

yes!

2 9oz packages of tortellini
1/2 cup canned pure pumpkin
1 1/4 cup heavy (i used light) cream
fresh parsley, chopped
1 small shallot, finely chopped
s&p to taste
1/2 cup grated parmesan (plus some to top)
1 tbsp butter
pinch of nutmeg

-boil tortellini
-melt butter and add shallot, cook on med-high for about 2 minutes until shallot starts to get soft
-add pumpkin, stir to mix and let it melt a little. add a pinch of nutmeg.
-add cream, mix, let it boil gently. add s&p to taste
-add cheese, let it cook on low until pasta is done, then mix!

i should add that i added broccoli florets, chicken, and red pepper flakes. and it was amazing. i cooked the broccoli in a dab of oil, then added the shallot/butter and continued with the recipe.

also, my chicken was already cooked (leftovers), so if it was raw, i'd add it when i put the shallot in.
