Creamy Pumpkin Sauce

Creamy Pumpkin Sauce

Ingredients

Makes about 3 cups of sauce

1 tablespoon butter

1 medium shallot (or onion), chopped

1 ¼ cups pumpkin puree (here’s how I make pumpkin puree)

1 cup Greek yogurt

¾ cup grated Parmesan cheese

½ teaspoon fine grain sea salt

A pinch of fresh grated nutmeg

Freshly ground pepper to taste

Directions

Melt the butter in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat, add shallot, a pinch of salt and saute for about 4 to 5 minutes until translucent but not browned.

Transfer to a blender, add pumpkin puree, Greek yogurt, Parmesan cheese, salt, nutmeg and black pepper.

Blend until the sauce is very smooth (a couple of minutes), adding more Greek yogurt depending on how thick you want the sauce to be.

Taste and adjust with seasoning. Serve hot!
