How To Make pumpkin sage butter tortellini

  • Step 1
    Bring 6 quarts of water to a boil in a spaghetti pot and add 2 tbsp. of salt
  • Step 2
    Place butter and sage in a 10-12 inch saute pan over medium-high heat and cook until butter turns golden brown and spatters a bit.
  • Step 3
    Add the pumpkin puree and remove from heat; it will make some noise here and be a little messy. Swirl the pan to mix the butter and pumpkin mixture together and set aside.
  • Step 4
    Drop the tortellini into the boiling water and cook according to package instructions, and then drain in a colander.
  • Step 5
    Immediately toss the cooked tortellini into the pan with the pumpkin mixture, place over medium heat and toss until pasta is coated with the sauce.
  • Step 6
    Mix in half of the grated Parmigiano and toss for 10 seconds, then pour into a heated bowl and serve immediately.
