Gobble, gobble people! It’s almost turkey day!
I don’t know about you, but I’ve been seeing Friendsgiving celebrations EVERYWHERE this year. I feel like now that I have entered my 30s, more and more of my friends and family are hosting these gatherings and basically having a second Thanksgiving.
Nothing wrong with that, am I right??
The best part about bringing people together is celebrating with great food. For me, there’s nothing else I would rather be doing with friends! Of course, the challenge is, what to bring to Friendsgiving??
This pasta dish is the answer. It’s creamy, savory, and full of bold flavors, plus it is vegetarian so you can make lots of people happy at the same time.
There’s a secret to this dish though… HUMMUS.
Hummus in pasta? What’s that about?
It’s actually a magical ingredient! Hummus already fits great on every Friendsgiving menu, but when you put it in this pumpkin pasta made with pumpkin puree, it brings a whole new level of flavor to the table.
And if you are going to have hummus, in my book, it better be Sabra. This pumpkin pasta includes roasted garlic hummus, which brings a ton of flavor and helps make the recipe easier because you don’t have the roasted any garlic yourself!
The result is creamy, dotted with sun-dried tomatoes, and sprinkled with cheese. It makes for a killer side dish to gather friend around, but it also makes a great main dish throughout the winter.

How To Make Pumpkin Pasta
Cook Pasta
Start this recipe by cooking the pasta to al dente in salted boiling water. You want to make sure not to overcook the pasta because then it will become too mushy and won’t hold the sauce well enough.
Make Sauce
The sauce all comes together in one skillet! All you have to do is cook down the mixture slightly, until it’s thickened. Then stir in the yogurt for a touch of creaminess, cheese, and sun-dried tomatoes. It all comes together while the pasta is cooking!
Combine
Finally, drain that pasta and toss it in the creamy pumpkin sauce! Garnish with some green freshly chopped parsley and serve warm.
Can I use fresh or canned pumpkin puree?
You can use either for this recipe! If you want to make it yourself, check out my how to make pumpkin puree guide. Otherwise, just grab a can! Just make sure it’s 100% pumpkin puree and not the pumpkin pie filling in a can.
What if I don’t like sun-dried tomatoes?
Skip ’em! If you aren’t a fan, you can totally leave them out and the recipe will still be just as tasty.
