How to Make Pumpkin Macaroni and Cheese

STEP 1.Start by bringing a large pot of water to a boil. Add a pinch of salt and a tablespoon of olive oil. Once the water is boiling, cook your elbow macaroni (or any pasta you prefer) according to the package instructions, usually around 7-8 minutes. Drain the pasta and set it aside.

STEP 1.In the same pot, melt the butter over medium heat. Once it’s melted, add in the garlic powder, onion powder, and dried sage. Let it cook for about 1 minute to release the flavors.

STEP 2.Now, stir in the pumpkin puree and milk. Whisk everything together until the sauce is smooth and creamy. Season with salt and pepper to taste. You can also add a pinch of nutmeg or cinnamon for extra fall flavor if you like.

STEP 3.Once the sauce is simmering, slowly add in the shredded cheddar cheese. Stir constantly until the cheese is fully melted and the sauce is thick and smooth. This is where the magic happens!

STEP 4.Add your cooked pasta back into the pot with the pumpkin cheese sauce. Stir everything together until the pasta is fully coated with that delicious, creamy sauce.

STEP 5.Serve your Pumpkin Macaroni and Cheese hot, with a sprinkle of extra cheese on top if you like. You can even add some crispy bacon or roasted vegetables for an extra crunch. The options are endless!
