Notes

Sun-dried tomatoes add a burst of tangy flavor and balance the richness of the sauce.
Use fresh rosemary for best results, as it enhances the aroma and taste of the dish.
Reserve a splash of pasta water to adjust sauce consistency if needed.
Always use pure pumpkin puree, not pumpkin pie mix.
