- 1 Can Pumpkin Puree 15 oz

- ¼ teaspoon Ground Sage
Instructions:

- add your remaining ingredients (except the pasta) and mix together. Continue to cook over medium heat for about 15 minutes.

Highly recommend using an immersion blender when making this recipe. If you do not have an immersion blender, you can use a classic blender. If using a classic blender, let the ingredients cool significantly and slightly vent the top of the blender.
