Pumpkin Alfredo Sauce

We made this for our Halloween dinner yesterday. It sounds super weird, but it was actually really yummy. My boys ate it up and even asked for seconds! Great way to use up any extra pumpkin you might have because it doesn't take very much. The pumpkin taste is actually very mild.

From Our Best Bites

1 pkg. fresh pasta (we used frozen cheese ravioli and they were awesome!)
1/2 batch Guiltless Alfredo Sauce
1/2 T. real butter
1/4 cup finely minced onion
2 Tb. chicken broth
1 Tb freshly chopped sage (or 1 tsp dry sage)
1/2 Tb. Fresh thyme (or 1/2 tsp dried thyme)
1/2 cup canned pumpkin

Cook the pasta according to package directions. In a separate saucepan, melt the butter on medium heat. When melted, add onion and saute until it is translucent and fragrant. Add chicken broth and herbs. Use a spatula to deglaze the pan a bit and get any cooked bits off the bottom. Add pumpkin and whisk to combine. Add alfredo sauce, stir to combine, and cook until heated through. Serve immediately over the cooked pasta.
