    There's nothing like a creamy homemade pasta dinner, especially on a chilly fall or winter night. This vegan fettuccine with creamy pumpkin sauce is a family favorite dish flavored with fresh herbs and topped with pumpkin seeds for crunch and color.

    Ingredients for pumpkin pasta on a table

    Ingredients

    Instead of breaking out our blenders and soaking cashews to make a creamy sauce, I'm keeping this simple but dairy-free with coconut milk. The coconut flavor compliments the pumpkin so well, and it allows the sauce to become super creamy and luscious!

    Here are all the ingredients you need for vegan pumpkin pasta:

    • Fettuccine. I like long pasta for this dish, but any shape will work.
    • Canned pumpkin. You can use store-bought puree or make your own.
    • Coconut milk. Use full-fat for the creamiest texture and flavor.
    • Garlic powder for savory flavor.
    • Sage. This fresh herb is so perfect with pumpkin.

    Ingredient Swaps & Substitutions

    • Gluten-free vegan pumpkin pasta. Use your favorite gluten-free pasta.
    • Other spices. Instead of sage, you can use thyme or rosemary!
    • Toppings. I love adding crunch with toasted pumpkin seeds on top. You could also add a dusting of vegan parmesan cheese or red pepper flakes for heat.
    • Added veggies. You can ampu up this past recipe by folding in simple roasted veggies. For protien, add Crumbled Tempeh Sausage.

    Storage

    You can store leftover pumpkin sauce in an airtight container in the fridge for up to four days. Or freeze it for up to three months. Reheat the sauce in the microwave or on the stove until heatedthrough.

    I recommend storing the noodles separately from the sauce to avoid overcooking the noodles.

    Instructions
