Brown Butter Pumpkin Mafaldine Alfredo MUKBANG w/ Toasted Pecans, Sage and Dried Cherries!

Video Description

Time for another Fall-themed alfredo recipe! This time, I decided to add the classic combo of brown butter, sage, toasted nuts, and dried fruit to the mix, and added pumpkin for good measure! Is this an Alfredo? Why sure! We make our own rules here. :) How I did it: In a dry saucepan, add a cup of raw, whole pecans and sautee over medium/medium high heat, moving them around relatively frequently. Don't leave the stove for this! They will burn. Toast until they've got a bit of color on them and they have a toasty aroma. You can also taste one to test for doneness -- they should be more crispy and less starchy. Once they're done, chop them up and set aside. Cook a pound of mafaldine pasta (or whatever pasta you'd like) in liberally salted water for a minute under the al dente instructions on the package, then reserve about 2 cups of the salty starchy pasta water and drain. Drizzle your pasta with EVOO to keep from sticking and set aside. Pour half of your hot pasta water into another dish and add about 1/4 cup of dried cherries -- this will bring them back to life! Meanwhile, melt 4 tbsp butter in saucepan, and let it cook over medium heat for a few minutes until you see there are a lot of little brown bits that have formed. Those are the solids toasting -- where all the brown butter flavor comes from! Once you start to see that happening, add a handful of chopped sage leaves and let them sizzle for a couple minutes. Then add a 15 oz can of pumpkin, 2 cups of freshly grated parmiggiano cheese, the reserved pasta water the cherries were sitting in, a 1/2 cup of heavy cream, and some freshly grated nutmeg, and stir to combine. Add your pasta and toss in the sauce, allowing to cook in the sauce for another minute. If you want more sauce at this point, add more pasta water. You should have some left that wasn't hangin with the cherries -- that will be good for leftovers as well! Then, plate and top with handful of fresh sage, reconstituted dried cherries, chopped toasted pecans and another shaving of parmiggiano! Enjoy!! Thanks so much for watching!
