Tips:
- Choose high-quality ingredients: Use fresh, ripe vegetables, flavorful sausage, and a creamy, rich pumpkin puree. The better the ingredients, the better the sauce will be.
- Don't overcrowd the pan: When cooking the sausage, make sure to give it enough space so that it can brown properly. If you overcrowd the pan, the sausage will steam instead of brown.
- Use a good quality olive oil: Olive oil adds a delicious flavor to the sauce. Make sure to use a good quality extra virgin olive oil.
- Don't overcook the sauce: The sauce should be cooked just until it is heated through. Overcooking the sauce will make it thick and gloppy.
- Serve immediately: This dish is best served immediately after it is made. The sauce will thicken as it sits, so if you need to make it ahead of time, be sure to reheat it gently before serving.
Conclusion:
This penne with sausage and pumpkin cream sauce is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal.
