This Pumpkin Pasta is Insanely Delicious AND EASY

Описание: Pumpkin season is here, and I'm going to show you how to make a super smooth and delicious Pumpkin Rigatoni. It's insanely good, and here's how you do it.

You'll need:
1 onion, diced
1 bell pepper, diced
2–3 cloves garlic, minced
½ tsp dried oregano
¼ tsp dried tarragon
¼ tsp ground cinnamon
½ tsp chili powder
1 ½ cups pureed tomatoes
1 ½ cups pumpkin puree
1 tbsp cold butter
Splash of balsamic vinegar
Olive oil
Salt, to taste
Freshly grated Parmesan, for serving
Fresh basil leaves, for garnish
Rigatoni pasta, cooked al dente

Heat a drizzle of olive oil in a large pan over medium heat. Add the diced onion and bell pepper with a pinch of salt. Cook, stirring occasionally, until tender and fragrant.

Stir in the minced garlic along with the oregano, tarragon, cinnamon, and chili powder. Cook for about a minute, just until the spices bloom.

Pour in the pureed tomatoes and simmer for a few minutes, then add the pumpkin puree. Stir to combine and let everything heat through.

Transfer the sauce to a blender. Add the cold butter and a splash of balsamic vinegar, then blend until the sauce is silky smooth.

Toss the sauce with hot rigatoni until well coated. Serve topped with freshly grated Parmesan and a couple of basil leaves.

Yum. Welcome to spooky season!
