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 thought this pasta dish was just okay. The sauce was a bit too heavy for my taste, and the vegetables were not cooked enough. I think it would be better with a lighter sauce and more cooked vegetables.

This pasta dish was a bit too sweet for my taste. The pumpkin puree made the sauce very sweet, and the walnuts added even more sweetness. I think it would be better with less pumpkin puree or with a different type of nut.

I found this recipe to be a bit bland. The sauce was not very flavorful and the vegetables were not cooked enough. I think it would be better with more spices and herbs.

This pasta dish was a bit too heavy for my taste. The sauce was very creamy and rich, and the walnuts added a lot of texture. I think it would be better with a lighter sauce.
