PASTA WITH ITALIAN SAUSAGE AND PUMPKIN SAUCE



Pasta with Italian Sausage and Pumpkin Sauce image

This a great way to use pumpkin in your cooking rather than your baking. The flavor of the pumpkin doesn't come out very strong and if you didn't know what was in it, you probably wouldn't even realize it was pumpkin. But it makes a great creamy pasta sauce with a different type of flavor.
