     Title: 30-Minute Pumpkin Sage Pasta
Categories: Squash, Herbs, Pasta, Cheese
     Yield: 4 servings

     3 tb Unsalted butter
    16    Fresh sage leaves
     1 tb Fine chopped sage leaves
   1/2 c  Fine chopped shallots
     1 c  Canned pumpkin puree
     3 tb Shiro (white) miso
     1 tb Fine chopped fresh sage
          - leaves
     1 lb Dry rigatoni pasta
     2 ts Dark brown sugar
       pn Ground cinnamon
     4 oz Fine grated Parmigiano
          - Reggiano; more for garnish
     2 ts Cider vinegar
          Salt & fresh grated nutmeg
          Toasted salted pumpkin
          - seeds; garnish

 In a large pot set over medium heat, melt the butter.
 When the foam subsides, add the sage leaves and fry
 until crisp and just beginning to brown, 1 - 2 minutes.
 Using a fork, transfer to a small bowl. Add the shallots
 to the butter and cook, stirring frequently, until soft
 and translucent, about 7 minutes. Stir in the pumpkin,
 miso, and chopped sage and cook until hot and beginning
 to sizzle, about 3 minutes more. Stir in 4 1/4 cups cups
 of water, then add the rigatoni, brown sugar, and
 cinnamon and turn the heat to high. When the liquid
 boils, turn the heat to medium and cover. Cook, stirring
 and scraping the bottom of the pot every 2 minutes to
 prevent sticking, until the pasta is nearly al dente,
 about 11 minutes.

 Turn the heat to high and boil, stirring continuously,
 until the sauce has reduced slightly, about 2 minutes
 more. Remove from the heat. Stir in the Parmigiano,
 vinegar, and salt and nutmeg to taste and serve
 immediately, sprinkled with the pumpkin seeds, fried
 sage leaves, and more Parmigiano.
