INGREDIENTS: 

• 8 oz spaghetti
• 1 tablespoon butter
• 1 shallot, chopped
• 1 clove garlic, minced
• 1 cup strained tomatoes (tomato puree)
• 1 cup pumpkin puree
• 1/4 cup water
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 1/2 teaspoon nutmeg
• 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
• 4 teaspoons pure maple syrup
• 1/2 cup full-fat coconut milk
• 1 tablespoon fresh minced sage, plus extra for garnish

DIRECTIONS:

1. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and cook the pasta to al dente, according to the package instructions
2. Pour the coconut oil into a large pot over medium heat, and saute the onion until tender, about 5 minutes. Add in the garlic and saute until fragrant, about 1 more minute.
3. Add in the tomato, pumpkin puree, water, salt, cinnamon, and maple syrup and bring the soup to a boil. Once boiling, lower the heat and stir in the coconut milk and 1/2 of the minced sage.
4. Adjust any seasoning to taste and serve warm over your favorite pasta. (I’d recommend preparing a pound of pasta for this amount of sauce.
