Ingredients

1 lb rigatoni
6 tbsp unsalted butter
1/4 cup fresh sage leaves
1/4 cup minced shallot
2 cloves garlic
1/2 tsp red pepper flakes
1/4 tsp kosher salt
1/4 tsp freshly ground black pepper
1 cup pure pumpkin puree

Steps

Boil the rigatoni in a large pot of water until tender, about 9 minutes, then reserve the pasta water and drain.
Melt the butter in a 12-inch skillet over medium heat and cook the sage for 3 minutes, until the butter browns.
Add the shallot, garlic, red pepper flakes, salt, and pepper, and cook for 2 minutes.
Stir in the pumpkin and wine, then simmer for 3 minutes.
Add the mascarpone, reserved pasta water, and drained rigatoni, and toss for 2 minutes until coated.
Stir in the Parmesan cheese, if using.
