When I saw Caro posting about this on IG prior to sending it out, I was so excited bc I’d been wanting to make a pumpkin pasta for a while! I told my boyfriend I was going to make it and he was like absolutely not, I don’t want pumpkin pasta. Well, I made it tonight (with Italian sausage) and said he could eat leftover pizza if he didn’t like it. I received a “well that’s quite delightful!” I don’t know why he doubts me, he always loves everything I make from what to cook!
I’ve never made a recipe so fast! I’m with you- savory pumpkin only please. My whole family LOVED this. And even with making two versions (one GF) it was still fast and easy. We might even get everyone to bed on time tonight! 🎃💕
We were out of real milk, so I used almond. Wouldn’t thicken, so I stirred up a little arrowroot w/a couple spoons of broth and added back in. Moral: probably need a roux if using a nut milk. Look forward to trying with dairy milk, but the flavor was still solid.
Made this last night! Children (11&9) LOVED it. Husband said “ I wish it was pumpkinnyyerrr ( it’s a word, trust me) -- then proceeded to have a second serving.
So delicious - admittedly I added some melted butter and a few pats to the top before broiling because..butter, but it didn't need it ! My pumpkin hating husband is now a convert .
Can I use my leftover breadcrumbs that have the pepitas in it?
Also is my ceasear still good a week later?? 😅 🤞🏼
Yes and sniff test!
update, both were great!
Would spinach work instead of kale for the addition of greens at the end?
Yes!
Delicious! Brought this to a friends and kids hangout tonight and it was enjoyed by all ages!! A keeper!
what a great one to bring to a hangout!!! xoxo

“It’s basically Mac and cheese” yes, that’s what I tried telling you in the first place 😜

My whole family (including 2 toddlers) devoured this. French's onions are yummy on top too!!
Omg French's on top yummm
So interesting to cook the pasta in the milk/water mixture... love learning nee tricks, thanks!
New tricks 😉
Making a mac and cheese without a roux!?!??? I can’t wait to try it. Could be revolutionary for me

Making the salad tonight!
My very picky almost-three-year-old loved this WITH the kale. I played it cool but I was amazed! Great recipe!
This was divine. And so quick and easy.

If mine was runny what did I do wrong? GF pasta so couldn’t do in one pot
Darn, gf is tricky. Missing the starch from the glutinous pasta doesn't allow it to thicken up as much.
oh awesome i didn’t know that!
Thoughts on added cauliflower to this
I feel like it would be good!
Ok, with you on the pumpkin spice overload, but have you tried the pumpkin spice Jo Jo’s at TJs? They are good!
no but peppermint jo jos are legit my death row meal
