Description

Pumpkin Gouda Stuffed Shells with Brown Butter Sage Alfredo Sauce is a creamy and rich comfort dish, perfect for chilly evenings and special gatherings.

Ingredients

  • Jumbo pasta shells
  • Pumpkin puree
  • Gouda cheese
  • Ricotta cheese
  • Brown butter
  • Sage
  • Heavy cream
  • Salt
  • Pepper
  • Nutmeg (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the jumbo shells according to the package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside to cool slightly.
  3. In a medium bowl, mix together the pumpkin puree, ricotta cheese, gouda cheese, salt, and pepper until well combined. You can also add a pinch of nutmeg for extra warmth.
  4. Using a spoon or a piping bag, fill each pasta shell generously with the pumpkin and cheese mixture. Place the stuffed shells in a greased 9×13-inch baking dish.
  5. In a saucepan over medium heat, melt the unsalted butter. Continue to cook until it turns golden brown and develops a nutty aroma, about 5-7 minutes. Add the fresh sage leaves and cook for another minute until fragrant.
  6. Reduce the heat to low and slowly whisk in the heavy cream. Allow the sauce to simmer for a few minutes until it thickens slightly. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  7. Pour the brown butter sage sauce over the stuffed shells, ensuring they are well coated. Sprinkle with additional gouda cheese if desired.
  8. Cover the baking dish with foil and bake for 20 minutes. Remove the foil and bake for an additional 10 minutes until bubbly and golden.
  9. Once done, let them cool for a few minutes before serving. Garnish with extra sage leaves or grated cheese if you like.
