There’s nothing better than cozying up with a warm bowl of pasta once the temperature starts to drop—or, well, anytime for that matter. Especially if said bowl of pasta is Alfredo. And while traditional sauces are made with a whole lot of butter, cream, and cheese, this recipe has one star ingredient: pumpkin.

Jeremy “Rock” Smith—the executive chef at the Kripalu Center for Yoga & Health—created a dish that doesn’t just give you extreme comfort food vibes, but is also healthy. With pumpkin, vegetable stock, and some chili flakes for a kick, you can whip up this sauce in 25 minutes and pair it with your noodle of choice. (And for even more flavor, put a dollop of pesto on top!)

Just be warned: No matter how you use it, there won’t be any leftovers.
