Low Fat Pumpkin and Sage Vegetarian Pasta Receipe

By Jolinda Hackett, About.com

Pumpkin pasta sauce
Savory and aromatic, this vegetarian and vegan pumpkin and sage pasta sauce recipe is naturally lower in fat than other pumpkin pasta sauce recipes, and is perfect for an unusual main dish for autumn or anytime.

Ingredients:

  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/2 onion, diced
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1/2 cup vegetable broth
  • 1/2 cup soy milk
  • 1 1/2 cups pumpkin, canned or pre-cooked
  • 1 1/4 tsp sage
  • salt and pepper to taste
  • 1/3 cup finely chopped walnuts or pine nuts (optional)

Preparation:

If using fresh pumpkin, rather than canned, puree in a blender first until smooth.

In a medium-sized pot or large frying pan, sautee garlic and onion in olive oil 3-5 minutes. Reduce heat to low, and add vegetable broth, soy milk, pumpkin and sage. Stir gently to combine ingredients.

Allow to simmer until flavors are well combined, about 8-10 minutes. Add salt, pepper and walnuts or pine nuts, stirring to combine, then remove from heat.

Serve over cooked pasta and enjoy!
