  • In a medium saucepan, whik the cornstarch and milk together.
  • When the cornstarch is dissolved completely, place over the stove on medium heat and add 3/4 cup water, the butter, and the pumpkin.

  • When pumpkin is dissolved, add the onion powder, salt, garlic powder, and sage.
  • Stir until the mixtures comes to a low boil and has thickened to your liking (like an alfredo sauce). If it's not thick enough, add another tablespoon of cornstarch dissolved in a little cold water.

  1. A really nice, smooth sauce. I loved the garlic flavour in it and would probably increase it next time as I like garlic strong! I also might use less evaporated milk compared to pumpkin, to make the pumpkin flavour a little stronger. It's definitely worth sprinkling with parmesan when serving- this seemed to boost the other flavours. Thanks for a wonderfully simple and tasty sauce!
