Method
Preparation
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Cook the jumbo shells according to package instructions. Drain them and set aside carefully so they don’t stick together.
- In a mixing bowl, combine gouda, pumpkin puree, ricotta, grated Parmesan, salt, pepper, and a light sprinkle of nutmeg. Stir until everything melds together into a gloriously creamy filling.
- Stuff each cooked shell generously with the cheese and pumpkin mixture.
Making the sauce and baking
- In a saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Once melted, toss in the sage leaves, letting them sizzle until fragrant.
- Stir in the heavy cream and let it cook for a few minutes until it thickens slightly.
- Spread half of the brown butter sauce over the bottom of a baking dish.
- Arrange the stuffed shells neatly in the dish and pour the remaining sauce over the top.
- Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until they’re bubbly and slightly golden on top.

Notes
Garnish with fresh sage leaves or a sprinkle of extra Parmesan. Pair with a simple arugula salad dressed lightly with olive oil and lemon juice, or serve alongside garlic bread.
