Ingredients
- 2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
- 1 medium yellow onion
- 3 large garlic cloves
- 1 inch chunk of ginger
- 1 can pure pumpkin puree not pumpkin pie filling
- 1 1/4 cup coconut milk full fat
- 2 tsp coriander
- 1 tsp smoked paprika
- 1/2 tsp turmeric
- 1/2 tsp (OPTIONAL) chili powder or red pepper flakes
- 1 cup cooked pasta
- 1 1/2 cup canned black beans
- salt and black pepper to taste
- 1 tsp fresh basil (to garnish)
- 2 tbsp parmesan
Instructions
- Cook the pasta according to package instructions so it is al dente.
- Drain and rinse the canned black beans and set aside.
- Peel the onion, ginger, and garlic and discard the peelings.
- Chop up the onion, ginger, and garlic roughly. These do not need to be chopped up really fine as we will be adding the sautéed ingredients to a blender and blending them up so the result is a delightfully creamy pumpkin pasta sauce.
- Add the oil to a large skillet and set it on a stove set to medium-high heat.
- Then add the chopped onion, ginger, and garlic to the pot and let sauté for about 7 minutes. Stir this mixture often so the onions, ginger, and garlic do not burn.
- Lower the temperature to medium-low heat and add the canned pumpkin, the coconut milk, and the spices and stir well until all ingredients are well blended and sauce is heated through - which should take about 5-7 minutes, depending on the temperature of the stove.
- Turn off the stove. Then, carefully spoon, or our, the pumpkin sauce mixture into a blender or food processor and blend until it is smooth.
- Add the cooked pasta and black beans to a large bowl.
- Pour the blended pumpkin sauce into the bowl and toss until the pasta and beans are well coated.
- Serve the pumpkin sauce with pasta and beans garnished with some fresh basil and sprinkled with parmesan cheese.
