Pumpkin Sage Mac and Cheese

Autumn-inspired mac and cheese built on a velvety pumpkin béchamel, finished with crispy fried sage leaves. Frying the sage leaves in butter until crisp before the roux is made is what infuses that same butter with sage flavour, carrying it straight through the whole sauce.
