Pumpkin, Walnut, and Zucchini Pasta image

Great holiday pasta! Works with any fuller pasta, including stuffed sorts such as ravioli. I use whole-wheat because I'll use any excuse to do the healthy option when the sauce is flavourful enough to hide the difference. But of course, there's always the regular pasta for the pickier eaters! I did it with a sausage tortellini once and it was fantastic! You can also add some prosciutto or sweet italian sausage bits!

I wasn't a big fan of this pasta. The pumpkin sauce was too sweet for my taste.

This pasta was a bit bland for my taste. I think it could have used some more spices or herbs.
