Ingredients

For the Pumpkin Sage Alfredo Sauce

5 large cloves garlic pressed/minced
1 tsp extra virgin olive oil
1 can 15 oz organic pumpkin puree
3 tsp softened Vegan butter
1 tbsp fresh or dried sage ground with mortar & pestle
4 tbsp grade A maple syrup
1 cup unsweetened almond milk
1 tsp fine sea salt
1 tsp white pepper

For the Zucchini

4 large zucchini spiralized
1 tsp extra virgin olive oil
1 tsp fine sea salt

Instructions

For the Zucchini

Saute' the olive oil and garlic in medium sauce pan. Add the zucchini and toss until coated. Heat for 10 minutes for a crisper noodle, 20 minutes for a softer noodle. Set aside.

For the Pumpkin Sage Alfredo Sauce

Saute the garlic in the olive oil in medium sauce pan on medium heat for a few minutes. Stir in the pumpkin puree, vegan butter, sage and maple syrup. Allow to simmer for 10 minutes.
Add the Almond milk a little at a time until the sauce reaches your desired consistency. If you prefer a thinner sauce, use more Almond milk. If you prefer a thicker sauce, use less. Stir in the salt and pepper to taste. You can serve it like I did in the picture, by placing a dollop of sauce over each plate of zucchini noodles, or add it to the pot of noodles and stir it all together. Whichever way you choose, serve immediately with a spinach salad and some Chardonnay.

Notes

**To make this recipe fat-free, use vegetable broth when preparing the noodles and sauce instead of olive oil and omit the Vegan butter

**If you aren't a fan of garlic or sage, simply use less and it will taste just as good
