Heat your oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the sausage and cook, until nicely browned. Stir in the garlic and saute for 1 more minute.
Meanwhile, in a small bowl, whisk 3 Tbsps of the milk with the flour until very smooth. Add this slurry to the remaining milk and whisk to incorporate well.
Add your milk-slurry mixture to the skillet together with the pumpkin puree, and Italian seasoning.
Whisk well to combine and allow the sauce to simmer for 3-4 minutes to combine the flavors and thicken a bit.
Taste and season with sea salt and pepper if desired.
Stir in your cooked brown rice or quinoa, freshly grated parmesan, and parsley, and cook while stirring for 3 more minutes, just to heat everything through.
Serve immediately and enjoy!
