    What can I say? I absolutely love pasta and shrimp. Fall is right around the corner and pumpkin everything is fast approaching. Why not make a bowl of delicious pumpkin fettuccine alfredo? I mean come on! If you’re not a fan of shrimp, simply omit it. Creamy pumpkin alfredo on its own will not disappoint. You can also use any type of pasta you have on hand.

    Ingredient’s You’ll Need

    • Heavy Cream
    • Fettuccine Pasta
    • Garlic – always use fresh.
    • Pumpkin Puree – Please do not get this confused with pumpkin pie mix. Pumpkin pie mix is loaded with sugar and will not taste pleasant.
    • Sage – pumpkin and sage go together beautifully!
    • Rosemary
    • Paprika – I like paprika for color. It gives the shrimp a nice color.
    • Italian Seasoning
    • Shrimp
    • Parmesan Cheese – Freshly grated parmesan cheese is the best way to go.
    • Salt and Pepper
    • Butter
    • Oil
    • Red Crushed Pepper – completely optional but the pumpkin adds a bit of sweetness to the sauce so a little bit of spice is perfect!

    What Else Can I Use Besides Shrimp?

    Chicken, lobster chunks, or scallops go great with Alfredo. You can also make this vegetarian by simply omitting the shrimp.

    Can I Add White Wine?

    Yes, absolutely. Add the wine after adding fresh garlic and red crushed pepper. Deglaze the skillet with the white wine and cook until the wine reduces by half.

    Storage

    For best results enjoy this immediately after cooking. However, you can make the sauce ahead of time and place it in an airtight container and refrigerate for up to 3 days.
