Ingredients
- 500 grams Cheese tortellini
- 6 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 1 cup Pumpkin puree
- 10 leaves Fresh sage leaves
- 2 cloves Garlic cloves, minced
- 0.5 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
- 0.25 cup Heavy cream (optional)
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.125 teaspoon Ground nutmeg
Directions
Step 1
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the cheese tortellini according to the package instructions until al dente. Reserve 1/2 cup of the pasta water, then drain and set aside.
Step 2
In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Once melted, add the fresh sage leaves and fry until crispy, about 1-2 minutes. Remove the sage leaves with a slotted spoon and set them aside on a paper towel to drain.

In the same skillet, add the minced garlic and sauté for 30 seconds until fragrant. Stir in the pumpkin puree and cook for 2 minutes to heat through.
Step 4
Add the reserved pasta water, heavy cream (if using), salt, black pepper, and nutmeg to the skillet. Stir to combine and cook for another 2-3 minutes until the sauce is smooth and slightly thickened.
Step 5
Add the cooked tortellini to the skillet and toss to coat evenly in the pumpkin sage butter sauce.
Step 6
Divide the tortellini among serving plates. Garnish with the crispy sage leaves and grated Parmesan cheese.
