Let’s cook

At a glance

You're looking at a quick and creamy 30-minute pasta that brings together chicken, pumpkin purée, and sage in a rich sauce. The main thing to watch is getting the sauce to the right consistency—you might need to adjust it with pasta water to get that beautiful coating on each strand.

Combine the ingredients

Add the chicken, cut into small pieces, to the pan. Season with salt and pepper, then sear over high heat. Once done, it's time to add the purée. Lower the heat by half and stir the pumpkin purée into the chicken. Mix well, heat through, and season with a pinch of salt.

Finish cooking

Add the finely chopped sage leaves. Sage has quite a strong flavor, so a few leaves — around six — are enough. Finally, pour the cream into the pan and let everything simmer for about five to ten minutes.

Tip

If the pasta doesn't seem well coated in sauce, add a splash of the reserved pasta water to the pan. Start with just a little and add more as needed, stirring thoroughly each time.
