Instructions

1. Cook pasta according to package directions. Strain and set aside.
2. Steam the sprouts according to package directions. They don’t need any seasoning as we toss them in a sauce, but I usually drizzle a pinch of garlic powder and salt in a little olive oil.
3. Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium heat. While hot, add the onion, garlic and sage and sauté for 5 minutes.
4. Add the onion mixture to a blender or food processor and add the remaining ingredients: pumpkin, milk, salt, and pepper. Blend until creamy and smooth.
5. Add the sauce to the pan you used to sauté the vegetables. Put the pan on medium heat and add the cheese, if using. Stir constantly to combine and cook until well-heated and cheese is completely melted.
6. Stir in the pasta and steamed brussels sprouts. Serve and ENJOY!
