- Cook the fettuccine in boiling water with salt added, according to package directions. Remove 1 cup of the pasta water if needed to thin out sauce.
- In large fry pan, place the butter, garlic and sage leaves. Over medium heat let the butter become melted and heated. Sauté the garlic until it becomes golden and fragrant, about 2 to 3 minutes. The sage leaves will also become wilted and fragrant.
- Remove the sage leaves and add the cream. Stir the cream and garlic mixture until the cream becomes warm. Add the pumpkin and stir together well; add the cheese and continue to stir the sauce until smooth and well blended.
- Remove the fettucine when al dente with a spaghetti spoon; right out of the water into the sauce. Toss together well. There should be enough sauce for the pasta.
- Serve immediately in individual bowls. Sprinkle top with a little additional Parmesan cheese. Sprinkle dash of Nutmeg over top for garnish, if desired. Serves 6.
