The combination of pumpkin and pasta likely emerged as a fusion of Italian and American culinary influences. In Italy, pasta dishes with various types of sauces are a staple of Italian cuisine. Pumpkins have been cultivated in Italy for centuries and are commonly used in dishes like pumpkin ravioli or gnocchi.
In the United States, pumpkin is often associated with fall and the Thanksgiving holiday. The use of pumpkin in savory dishes has become more popular in recent years, expanding beyond traditional sweet pumpkin pie. Pumpkin penne could have been inspired by the American tradition of incorporating pumpkin into savory recipes during the autumn season.
