Set a large pot of water to boil. Once boiling, add a good amount of salt and pasta. Cook according to package instructions until al dente then drain the pasta and return it to the pot, reserving some pasta water.
PUMPKIN SAUCE
2
While pasta cooks, heat coconut oil in a pan over medium heat. Add minced garlic, stirring until fragrant, about 1 minute.
3
Add the pumpkin puree, smoked paprika, salt, nutritional yeast, non-dairy milk, and cornstarch into the pan. Mix well until it becomes a creamy, smooth, and slightly thick sauce.
COMBINE
4
Pour the pumpkin sauce over the cooked pasta in your pot and toss to combine. If the sauce seems too thick, add a bit of the reserved pasta water to thin it out to your liking.
SERVE
5
Divide pasta into bowls, sprinkle with vegan parmesan cheese and serve warm.
