The pumpkin or squash is much appreciated for its taste and for its large supply of nutrients and their known properties or benefits to our health. The pumpkin is used not only food but also for decoration, as its shape and color goes a long way in creating the original objects.
Ingredients:
- 1 package pasta, uncooked
- 1 package cream cheese, cubed
- 1/2 cup 100% grated Parmesan cheese
- 1/4 cup butter
- 3/4 cup milk
- 1 cup canned pumpkin
- 1/2 teaspoon ground red pepper
- Nutmeg, to taste
Directions:
Cook the pasta according to recipe instructions.
Place the cream cheese, Parmesan cheese, butter and milk in large saucepan, simmer over low heat until cream cheese melts, stirring frequently.
Add the pumpkin and spices, mix well. Simmer until heated through, stirring occasionally.
Drain the pasta. Add the pasta to the pumpkin mixture, mix everything together a bit.
Personal Suggestion: This pasta is flavored with delicious cheese and we can use the pulp of the pumpkin that we will have on Halloween. Serve this pasta with garlic bread, a green salad.
