Pumpkin Alfredo

So... I was going to take a picture of the pasta with alfredo, but I ended up eating it all too quickly!  It smelled so good I had to take a bite.  One bite became two, and after two bites I sat down and and finished it off.  I love anything pumpkin, and combined with the rich creaminess of a parmesan alfredo there is little as delicious.  Here's the recipe:

Makes 1 serving
1 serving of spaghetti or fettuccine
2-4 Tablespoons pureed pumpkin
1/2 cup parmesan or pecorino romano cheese
2 Tablespoons milk
1 Tablespoon butter
Salt and Pepper to taste.  Making this sauce really peppery is really good, or add a bit of adobe sauce for a smokier flavor!

Cook the pasta al dente and drain.  At the same time combine all of the sauce ingredients in a pan over medium heat.  Stir until the butter and cheese are melted.   Poor over pasta and serve!  Yum!!!
