Cook Pasta : Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook pasta according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.

Prepare Sauce Base : In a large skillet, heat butter and olive oil over medium heat. Add minced garlic and sauté 1 minute until fragrant, being careful not to burn it.

Add Pumpkin and Cream : Stir in pumpkin puree, heavy cream, nutmeg, salt, and pepper. Cook 3–5 minutes until fully heated and slightly thickened.

Incorporate Parmesan : Gradually add Parmesan cheese, stirring constantly until melted and smooth. Taste and adjust seasoning.

Combine with Pasta : Add the cooked pasta to the skillet and toss gently to coat evenly in the creamy pumpkin sauce.

Garnish and Serve : Transfer pasta to serving plates. Garnish with chopped parsley, extra Parmesan, or toasted pumpkin seeds for a festive touch.
