Creamy Pumpkin Pasta Sauce Recipe

Step 1: To begin making the Creamy Pumpkin Pasta Sauce Recipe; first get all the ingredients ready and keep it by the side

Step 2: Heat oil in a wok on medium heat, add in the garlic, red peppers and pumpkin

Step 3: Sprinkle some salt and stir fry to combine for a couple of minutes

Step 4: Cover the pan, turn the heat to low and allow the pumpkin and peppers to cook until soft and tender

Step 5: Do make sure to keep stirring intermittently so the vegetables dont get burnt

Step 6: You will know the pumpkin is cooked, when you press it down with a fork or a spoon, it will mash itself up

Step 7: Turn off the heat

Step 8: Now we are ready to blend all the ingredients together into the blender

Step 9: Note: If your blender does not allow hot ingredients, then allow the pumpkin to cool before blending it

Step 10: I use a KitchenAid Diamond Blender and that blends even hot ingredients without splashing all over

Step 11: If your blender can take in hot inrgedients, then add all of it right away

Step 12: Add all the ingredients like the cooked pumpkin, peppers, milk and cream cheese into the blender and blend to make a smooth puree

Step 13: Once blended, check the salt and pepper levels and adjust to suit your taste

Step 14: The creamy pumpkin puree can now be used as a pasta sauce for lasagna's or even regular pastas

Step 15: Store the Creamy Pumpkin Sauce in a glass jar or bottle, and refrigerate it for a maximum of 3 to 4 days and use it as and when required to make fresh pasta
