Pumpkin ala Vodka Sauce over Pasta
Description
Creamy, cozy, and packed with seasonal flavor—this sauce is perfect for tossing with pasta, serving with chicken, or spooning over roasted veggies.
The pumpkin brings a subtle sweetness and velvety texture that balances the tangy tomato and bold vodka flavors. Top it with fresh Parmesan and a sprinkle of crushed red pepper for that chef’s kiss moment. Bonus: it comes together in under 30 minutes, so it’s weeknight-friendly but still feels fancy.
