Method
Cocktail Directions
Prepare the Cocktail Base
In a large pitcher, combine the apple cider, dark rum, fresh lemon juice, and cinnamon sticks. Stir well to mix the ingredients.
Chill the Mixture
Cover the pitcher and let it chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
Dinner Directions
Cook the Pasta
In a large pot, bring salted water to a boil. Add the pasta and cook according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
Sauté the Aromatics
In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add minced garlic and fresh sage leaves, sautéing for about 1-2 minutes until fragrant but not browned.
Prepare the Sauce
Add the pumpkin puree and heavy cream to the skillet with the sautéed garlic and sage. Stir to combine and cook for 5 minutes, allowing the sauce to thicken slightly.
Combine Pasta and Sauce
Add the cooked pasta to the skillet, tossing it in the sauce until well-coated. Season with salt and black pepper to taste.
Serve the Dinner
Plate the pasta in serving bowls and top with grated Parmesan cheese. Serve warm alongside the autumn cocktail.
