Ingredients
- 1 cup Pumpkin puree
- 0.5 cup Heavy cream
- 3 tablespoons Cream cheese
- 0.25 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 2 cloves Garlic, minced
- 0.25 cup Onion, finely chopped
- 0.25 teaspoon Nutmeg
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
Directions
Step 1
Heat the olive oil in a medium saucepan over medium heat.
Step 2
Add the minced garlic and chopped onion to the pan. Sauté for about 3-4 minutes, or until the onion is soft and translucent.
Step 3
Stir in the pumpkin puree and continue to cook for another 2 minutes, allowing it to meld with the garlic and onion.
Step 4
Add the heavy cream and cream cheese to the mixture. Stir consistently until the cream cheese is completely melted and the mixture is smooth, about 5 minutes.
Step 5
Mix in the grated Parmesan cheese, ensuring it is thoroughly incorporated into the sauce.
Step 6
Season the sauce with nutmeg, salt, and black pepper, and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes.
Step 7
Reduce the heat to low and let the sauce simmer gently for another 5 minutes, allowing the flavors to develop further.
Step 8
Taste and adjust the seasoning if necessary. If you prefer a slightly thinner sauce, stir in a tablespoon of water or additional heavy cream until the desired consistency is reached.
Step 9
Serve immediately over low-carb noodles or as a sauce for grilled chicken or vegetables.
