For a richer flavor, use Italian sausage with fennel seeds. Fresh sage can be substituted for dried; use about 1 tablespoon chopped fresh sage. Parmesan cheese is a wonderful addition to this dish. Grate some over the top just before serving.

Follow The Directions
01
StepBring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Cook bow-tie pasta at a boil, stirring occasionally, until al dente, about 12 minutes.
02
StepMeanwhile, heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a deep, nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Cook and stir sausage until browned and crumbly, 5 to 7 minutes. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate. Drain and discard grease.
03
StepHeat teaspoon oil in the skillet. Add onion and garlic; saute until tender and fragrant, 5 to 8 minutes. Drain pasta and reserve about 1/2 cup of the pasta water. Return the drained pasta to the pot.
04
StepAdd wine and sage to the skillet. Simmer until wine is reduced by half, about 2 minutes. Pour in chicken stock and pumpkin; stir until sauce starts to bubble. Return sausage to the skillet. Reduce heat and stir in half-and-half. Season sauce with cinnamon, nutmeg, salt, and pepper. Simmer gently until sauce thickens slightly, 5 to 10 minutes.
05
StepPour pumpkin cream sauce over the pasta. Toss gently over low heat for 1 minute, adding a splash of the reserved pasta water if needed to adjust consistency. Taste and adjust seasoning. Serve immediately.
