This Gluten-Free Creamy Tuna Pumpkin Pasta recipe is a celebration of comfort and autumn warmth. It combines a flavorful, creamy pumpkin sauce with gluten-free pasta. The addition of tuna adds the perfect flavor. This is a fall recipe that is so easy to make.
When fall brings the cooler temperatures and earlier dark nights, I start craving comfort food. One of my favorite comfort foods is pasta with a creamy sauce. Another favorite fall food item that I crave is anything pumpkin.
From pumpkin pie to pumpkin spice lattes to soft pumpkin cookies, I can't get enough of the pumpkin flavor. I even crave creamy pumpkin soup. This is the time of year when I stock up on cans of pumpkin. So I have plenty for all of my pumpkin recipes.
A can of tuna inspired my Gluten-Free Creamy Tuna Pumpkin Pasta Dish
The other day I made the most incredible salmon curry from the Safe Catch website, and that led me to see what other delicious seafood recipes I could create. The first recipe that caught my attention was a Tuna Pumpkin Alfredo. I looked at the ingredients and quickly realized that I could not make this recipe, as it had wheat and dairy in it.
So I started searching the web for other ideas for a pumpkin pasta recipe that was gluten-free and dairy-free. When you have food allergies, you quickly learn how to modify a recipe. My search led me to a creamy dairy-free pumpkin pasta sauce.
The two recipes inspired me to create a gluten-free pasta dish with a creamy tuna pumpkin sauce. The result was a delicious fall comfort food that was perfect for a fall meal.

About Safe Catch Elite Wild Tuna
I always keep several cans of tuna in my pantry for making sushi bowls. One of my favorite brands of canned tuna is Safe Catch Elite Wild Tuna. Safe Catch tuna is wild and sustainably caught and has the lowest mercury of any brand. The natural omega-3s and vital oils make this tuna taste so good!
With Safe Catch Elite tuna, there is nothing to pour down the drain. Simply open the can and use a fork to flake the tuna steak, then watch the natural omega-3s and vital oils be absorbed by the tuna.
