# Ingredient List:

→ Main Ingredients

01 - 9 ounces gluten-free fettucine pasta
02 - 15 ounces pumpkin puree, unsweetened
03 - 13.5 ounces full-fat coconut milk
04 - 1 sweet onion, diced
05 - 1/3 cup fresh sage, chopped
06 - 3 cloves garlic, minced
07 - 1 tablespoon olive oil
08 - 1 teaspoon salt
09 - 1/4 teaspoon paprika
10 - 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon

# Preparation Steps:

01 - Heat olive oil in a large sauté pan over medium heat. Add diced onion, minced garlic, and chopped sage. Stir frequently and cook for 3 to 4 minutes until the mixture is fragrant and onions are translucent.
02 - Add pumpkin puree, full-fat coconut milk, paprika, salt, and ground cinnamon to the pan. Combine thoroughly and cook for another 3 to 4 minutes over medium heat, stirring regularly.
03 - Cover the pan and reduce heat to low. Allow the sauce to simmer gently for 25 to 30 minutes, stirring occasionally until thickened and the flavors are melded.
04 - Meanwhile, bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the gluten-free fettucine pasta following package directions until al dente. Drain well.
05 - Transfer the cooked pasta directly into the finished pumpkin sauce. Toss thoroughly until the pasta is evenly coated. Serve immediately.

# Supplementary Details:

01 - For the best texture, toss pasta with sauce just before serving. Fresh or frozen sage can be used interchangeably, and pre-chopped onions speed up preparation.
