Pumpkin Alfredo Sauce is a smooth and creamy sauce with a subtle sweetness of pumpkin that is rounded out by the sage and thyme. This sauce comes together very quickly. It is heavenly when served over cheese ravioli and sprinkled with toasted pecans and fresh parsley on top.

Pumpkin Alfredo Sauce might seem like an odd to some, but once you try it, you will realize that it is the perfect warm and comforting recipe for a cool fall or winter night.

I like to make my own Pumpkin Pie Spice because the flavor is a lot more vibrant than the store bought blend. You can find the recipe for my Pumpkin Pie Spice here.
