Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Pumpkin puree
- 0.5 cup Heavy cream
- 3 tablespoons Cream cheese
- 0.25 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 2 cloves Garlic, minced
- 0.25 cup Onion, finely chopped
- 0.25 teaspoon Nutmeg
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
Instructions
Heat the olive oil in a medium saucepan over medium heat.
Add the minced garlic and chopped onion to the pan. Sauté for about 3-4 minutes, or until the onion is soft and translucent.
Stir in the pumpkin puree and continue to cook for another 2 minutes, allowing it to meld with the garlic and onion.
Add the heavy cream and cream cheese to the mixture. Stir consistently until the cream cheese is completely melted and the mixture is smooth, about 5 minutes.
Mix in the grated Parmesan cheese, ensuring it is thoroughly incorporated into the sauce.
Season the sauce with nutmeg, salt, and black pepper, and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes.
Reduce the heat to low and let the sauce simmer gently for another 5 minutes, allowing the flavors to develop further.
Taste and adjust the seasoning if necessary. If you prefer a slightly thinner sauce, stir in a tablespoon of water or additional heavy cream until the desired consistency is reached.
Serve immediately over low-carb noodles or as a sauce for grilled chicken or vegetables.
