{Pumpkin} Pasta Dish

On Valentine's day I shared with you that Nathan made a delicious pasta dish with some pumpkin puree. Now, I really like pumpkin but I am picky if there is too much. This dish had the exact amount it needed to give it the pumpkin flavor without it being over-bearing.

 It's also the easiest dish ever. You just have to throw some stuff in a pan and wait until it thickens.
This is the BEST homemade sauce I have ever tried. I couldn't resist making it again a week after our Valentine's date and it was just as good as the first time. Enjoy friends! :)

 Gather all your ingredients and take a picture for your blog.

Measure out your yummy ingredients.

Stick em' all in a sauce pan (except butter) and simmer until sauce thickens. (10-12 minutes)


Be sure to throw some bread sticks in the oven!
Go outside & take some pretty pictures since the lighting is better.


What's in it:
1 Cup Heay cream
1/2 Cup Pumpkin Puree
1/4 Cup Fresh Parmesan (or not, I only had the grated)
1/2 tsp salt
1/4 tsp pepper
1 tbsp unsalted butter 
*Recipe calls for sage leaves but we left them out & loved it

How to make it:
Combine all ingredients, except butter, in a medium sauce pan over medium-high heat. Simmer until sauce thickens (about 10-12 minutes) Remove from heat and stir in the butter until melted
Toss with your favorite noodles and serve with some garlic bread sticks.

  4. This looks DELICIOUS! Sadly I don't think my pumpkin-hating husband would eat it though.
