Directions

  1. Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Cook bow-tie pasta at a boil, stirring occasionally, until tender yet firm to the bite, about 12 minutes.

  2. Meanwhile, heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a deep, nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Cook and stir sausage until browned and crumbly, 5 to 7 minutes. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate. Drain and discard grease.

  3. Heat teaspoon oil in the skillet. Add onion and garlic, saute until tender, 5 to 8 minutes. Drain pasta and return to the pot.

  4. Add wine and sage to the skillet. Simmer until wine is reduced by half, about 2 minutes. Pour in chicken stock and pumpkin, stir until sauce starts to bubble. Return sausage to the skillet. Reduce heat and stir in half-and-half. Season sauce with cinnamon, nutmeg, salt, and pepper. Simmer until sauce thickens, 5 to 10 minutes.

  5. Pour pumpkin cream sauce over the pasta. Toss over low heat for 1 minute. Taste and adjust seasoning.
