- In a large skillet or Dutch oven, heat ¼ cup of olive oil over medium heat. Add 1 small finely chopped onion and sauté until translucent, about 5-7 minutes.
- Add 2 cloves of minced garlic and ¼ cup of chopped fresh sage to the skillet. Cook for an additional minute until fragrant.
- Pour in 1 (15-ounce) can of pumpkin puree, stirring well. Cook for 2-3 minutes until heated through.
- Pour in ½ cup of heavy cream, stirring to create a smooth consistency. Add ¼ cup of grated Parmesan cheese and stir until melted.
- Season with salt, black pepper, and ¼ teaspoon of red pepper flakes. Reduce heat and simmer for 10-15 minutes.
- While the sauce simmers, cook 1 pound of pasta in boiling salted water until al dente, about 8-10 minutes.
- Reserve ½ cup of pasta water, drain pasta, and add to the skillet with the sauce, tossing to coat well.
- Adjust sauce consistency with reserved pasta water if needed.
- Gently stir in half of the crumbled feta cheese into the sauce.
