I absolutely love a good pasta dish any time of the year. But when it’s cold outside, it’s the best hearty meal out there, especially if it’s served with nice, freshly baked bread.

Fall ingredients like butternut squash, mushrooms, sage, and pumpkin pair beautifully with rich sauces and tender noodles, making pasta the perfect dish for the season. For all you carb watchers like me, there are some great low carb/keto pastas out there that are really good.

Creamy Butternut Squash Pasta

This dish is fall in a bowl! Roasted butternut squash blended into a silky sauce with garlic, parmesan, and a touch of cream makes for a rich and satisfying pasta. Top with crispy sage leaves for an elegant finish. I’m not a big squash fan, but this recipe is something I would try.

Pumpkin Alfredo

Pumpkin isn’t just for pie! Stir pumpkin puree into a creamy Alfredo sauce for a seasonal twist on a classic recipe. It’s savory, slightly sweet, and pairs perfectly with fettuccine or penne. If you have ever had pumpkin puree, you will love this recipe.

Creamy Mushroom Tagliatelle

To be honest, I had to look up Tagliatelle to see what it was, and it’s a wide pasta made mainly from eggs. You could use fettuccine and get the same results for this recipe. Earthy mushrooms sautéed with garlic and cream create a rustic, aromatic pasta dish that feels like it came straight from a cozy Italian kitchen. I have seen this recipe with a bit of sage, bacon, or sausage added.

Sausage and Kale Orecchiette

I am a kale lover and this dish is right up my alley. A hearty option for cool evenings, this recipe combines savory Italian sausage, sautéed kale, and orecchiette pasta. The small ear-shaped noodles catch all the flavors beautifully, making every bite satisfying.

Roasted Vegetable Pasta Bake

Take your favorite end-of-summer or fall veggies, like Brussels sprouts, squash, sweet potatoes, or carrots, and roast them to caramelized perfection. Toss with pasta, marinara, spinach, and mozzarella, then bake until this recipe is golden and bubbly.

Apple Cider Mac and Cheese

When I was searching for fall pasta recipes, and this one came up, I was intrigued about using apple cider in it. It gives this recipe sauce a subtle sweetness that complements sharp cheddar beautifully and gives comfort food a fall flavor upgrade.

Gnocchi with Brown Butter and Sage

Simple yet oh so good! Try this recipe with pillowy gnocchi pan-seared in nutty brown butter and tossed with crispy sage leaves is a timeless fall favorite. A sprinkle of parmesan takes it over the top.

  1. These all sound like lovely fall options. I love mushrooms and the Tagliatelle would probably be my favorite. I don’t know that I like squash with pasta but it is nice to try out some new recipes.

  2. I am loving all of these yummy pasta dishes especially the one with the butternut squash. It looks so good and my husband would love it too!

  3. Two of my favorite things in life– pasta and fall flavors. And I need to check this keto friendly brand because I have seen it a few times this week on Instagram. Thank you for sharing this compilation!
