A NOTE ON CALORIE COUNT, NUTRITIONAL INFO AND SERVING SIZES
Due to my past experiences, I do not include most of the above information within my recipes as it is unsafe for me to do so personally. While I try to share a rough estimate when it comes to the serving size, please note that it is very subjective as we all have different hunger levels both from person to person and even from meal to meal.
If any of the above information is important to you, I understand! We are all different and have various goals and needs. If you’d like, you are welcome to calculate the information needed based on the ingredients you use when making one of my recipes.
I hope you understand! This comes from a place of love and protection both for myself and others like me. If you ever have any questions, send me an Instagram message for the quickest response time! Thank you for being here!

20 Minute Creamy Pumpkin Pasta
Ingredients
Pumpkin Pasta
- 1 box gluten free pasta (I use Jovial Foods)
- 1 tbsp olive oil or avocado oil
- 5 garlic cloves, minced
- ¼-½ cup reserved pasta water (more or less to achieve desired texture of the sauce)
- 1 15 oz can pure pumpkin purée
- ½ cup coconut milk (I use canned, can also use half n half)
- 1 tbsp onion powder
- 1 tbsp salt (more or less to taste depending on preference)
- 2 tbsp poultry seasoning
- pepper, to taste
Instructions
- Prepare pasta according to the instructions on the box.
- In a separate pot or pan, sauté garlic in olive oil or avocado oil until fragrant.
- Add the pumpkin and pasta water to the garlic and mix to combine.
- Then, mix in the seasonings and coconut cream.
- Drain the pasta (I have the best luck when I don't rinse my gluten free pasta, fyi) and add back to the pot.
- Pour the sauce into the pot with the pasta and gently stir to evenly cover the pasta in the sauce.
- If you'd like, top the pasta with toasted bread crumbs (simply toss in olive oil or avocado oil in a pan on the stove for a few minutes), parmesan and fresh seasonal herbs.
