Ingredients
- Kosher salt
- Two 9-ounce packages cheese tortellini
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
- 1 small shallot, finely chopped
- 1/2 cup canned pure pumpkin
- Pinch of freshly grated nutmeg
- 1 1/4 cups heavy cream
- 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese, plus more for topping
- Freshly ground pepper
- Chopped fresh parsley, for topping (optional)
Instructions
- Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the tortellini and cook as the label directs. Reserve 1/2 cup cooking water, then drain the pasta.
- Meanwhile, heat the butter in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add the shallot and cook, stirring, until slightly soft, about 2 minutes. Add the pumpkin and nutmeg and cook, stirring, 1 minute. Stir in the cream and bring to a low boil. Reduce the heat to medium low; simmer, stirring, until slightly thickened, about 5 minutes. Stir in the cheese and cook until thick, about 1 more minute. Season with salt and pepper.
- Add the tortellini to the skillet and toss with the sauce, adding some of the reserved cooking water to loosen, if needed. Divide among bowls and top with more cheese and parsley.

Reviews
This was part of my thanksgiving meal. Very filling. Everyone loved it.
Boringly bland but edible. I will need to make some adjustments next time. It is a good start to a better recipe.
Excellent and easy recipe
This has been our favorite recipe for years! It’s deliciously creamy and a great way to use pumpkin that’s not overly pumpkin spiced. Even adults can enjoy this!
Super easy to make and yummy! It’s missing some garlic, but still great
soo good
Delicious and comes together quick and easily! I’m a big fan of pumpkin in anything. I will definitely be using this recipe a lot.
So good
Yhmmmmmmm
