Ingredients

  • 250 g dried paccheri (or sub rigatoni)
  • 1 ½ C leftover pumpkin cheese fondue
  • ¼ C shredded vegan parmesan
  • 2 tablespoon toasted walnuts, rough chopped
  • 1 tablespoon finely chopped fresh sage
  • fresh ground black pepper, to taste

Instructions

  • Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook pasta to al dente and reserve ¼ cup of the starchy pasta water before draining. Drain the pasta, but do not rinse.
  • Either heat up leftover pumpkin cheese sauce in the same pot, then add in pasta and toss to coat. You might want to add a bit of pasta water to smooth out the sauce (this is optional). Alternatively, you can add drained pasta to serving bowls and pour heated pumpkin cheese sauce over top. It's a personal preference. Garnish with vegan parmesan, toasted walnuts, fresh sage, and ground black pepper. Serve immediately.
