Pumpkin Sensation Week: Day 4

Creamy, delicious  easy and low calorie you could go as far as to say this is the perfect fall sauce. However we encourage you to try it for yourself. It takes the same amount of time to make as it does to boil pasta so its a simple multi tasking recipe. This recipe definitely adds another layer to the pumpkin possibilities keeping with our idea that pumpkin is not just for the dessert menu.

Tricks
