Notes
- This recipe has been updated since its original debut. I changed the pasta type, added sage, and more milk.
- The cook time does not count the time it takes to boil the water for the pasta as times vary per stove and whether the pot is covered.
- The pumpkin Alfredo sauce is prepped and cooked in the time it takes to cook the pasta.
