PENNE WITH PUMPKIN SAUCE



Penne With Pumpkin Sauce image

I had an abundance of pumpkins that I grew last year, so I tried this recipe from Gourmet Magazine and it was fantastic. The recipe calls for solid packed pumpkin, so feel free to use that if you don't have fresh pumpkin available. This recipe is scaled to serve 2, so adjust according to your needs. I hope you enjoy it!

Tips:

  • Choose the right pasta: Short pastas like penne and orecchiette work best with thick sauces like pumpkin sauce. They hold the sauce well and don't get lost in it.
  • Cook the pasta al dente: Al dente means "to the tooth" in Italian. It refers to the texture of pasta that is cooked through but still has a slight bite to it. This texture is ideal for pasta dishes with sauce because it allows the sauce to cling to the pasta.
  • Make a flavorful pumpkin sauce: The key to a great pumpkin sauce is to use fresh pumpkin puree. You can make your own pumpkin puree by roasting a pumpkin and then pureeing it in a food processor. Canned pumpkin puree will also work, but it may not be as flavorful.
  • Add some protein: This recipe calls for ground beef, but you can use any type of protein you like. Chicken, sausage, or tofu would all be good options.
  • Season the dish well: Don't be afraid to add plenty of salt, pepper, and other seasonings to your dish. This will help to bring out the flavors of the other ingredients.

Conclusion:

This stove-top beef and penne with pumpkin sauce is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. The pumpkin sauce is rich and flavorful, and the beef and penne are a hearty and satisfying addition. This dish is sure to please everyone at your table.
