    This pumpkin alfredo sauce is a quick and easy creamy sauce. Flavoured with sage this pumpkin sauce is great served over low carb noodles.

    The pumpkin puree gives a rich flavour and a boost of colour to the classic Alfredo sauce. Fried sage leaves are added as they go so well with pumpkin.

    How to make pumpkin alfredo

    Just a few ingredients are used to make this easy sauce.

    • Pumpkin Puree - Not just for sweet dishes, pumpkin puree goes well with the garlic and nutmeg of this sauce. I used tinned pumpkin puree for a quick sauce but you could make your own.
    • Cream - heavy cream
    • Parmesan - Preferable a vegetarian parmesan or try another vegetarian hard cheese.
    • Butter - I prefer to use unsalted butter in sauces.
    • Sage - You can't beat fresh sage and dried will not be the same flavour.
    • Garlic - An essential ingredient in any Alfredo sauce!
    • Nutmeg - Just a pinch of nutmeg to enhance the pumpkin flavour.

    How to make keto vegan pumpkin alfredo

    If you want to make this vegan than substitute the butter with olive oil, use nutritional yeast in place of the Parmesan and almond milk to replace the cream. If the sauce is not thick enough, add a ¼ teaspoon of xanthan gum.

    What to serve with pumpkin alfredo

    I served this pumpkin alfredo sauce with a packet of Palmini Linguine as they are a great low carb alternative to pasta that does not overpower the flavour of the sauce.

    Other low carb vegetable noodles such as zucchini or cabbage would be great with this sauce too. Or serve over steamed or roasted vegetables. Try it with asparagus or broccoli too.

    Our pumpkin spinach lasagna would not be complete without this sauce!

    Recipe Tips

    Fresh sage is essential. Powdered sage will not have the same flavour.

    Roast chunks of pumpkin and then puree for a rich flavour.

    Serve with chopped walnuts for a touch of crunch.
