Pumpkin Pasta Bake
  1. Cook the pasta according to package instructions.

  2. In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the walnuts and sage and cook for 2-3 minutes, stirring frequently, until fragrant and lightly browned. Remove from heat and set aside.

  3. In the same skillet, sauté the mushrooms and onion until softened, about 5-7 minutes. Add the tomato paste, garlic, and red pepper flakes and cook for 1 minute more.

  4. Add the spinach, oregano, and nutmeg and cook until the spinach is wilted, about 2 minutes.

  5. Pour in the vegetable broth and pumpkin purée and stir to combine. Bring the mixture to a simmer and cook for 5-7 minutes, until slightly thickened.

  6. Drain the cooked pasta and add it to the pumpkin sauce. Stir to coat.

  7. Transfer the pasta mixture to a baking dish and top with the Parmesan and fontina cheeses.

  8. Sprinkle the brown butter walnut and sage topping over the top.

  9. Bake at 375°F for 20-25 minutes, until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
