Sunday morning and i am good

I have been fortunate,as of late in many ways.
So as i looking at all of the small things,
i find one that is a bit fun,
unlike many years where the pumpkins of Halloween froze and the decayed into a disgusting mas,
they have maintained a very health composure.
Today i am stewing meat in a pumpkin, but while doing this, i ran into a recipe from last year using pumpkin as a pasta sauce.  It was awesome, but i am sticking to the stewed meat today.

here is the old recipe:


PUMPKIN PASTA SAUCE

2-cups Pumpkin or winter squash
¼-cup half and half
3-cups water
¼ teaspoon nutmeg
1-teaspoon ground rosemary
½-teaspoon allspice
1-teaspoon salt
1-tablespoon brown sugar
1-cup Parmesan cheese
1-cup shredded mozzarella cheese

Boil cut up pumpkin with 2 cups water and salt until soft
Strain, coarsely and pour remaining water (boiling) through the mash
And allspice, nutmeg, Rosemary and sugar to the mixture and bring to a boil
Reduce heat so the mixture just simmers and continue until volume is reduce by half
Turn off heat and add cheeses and mix
Serve over your favorite pasta immediately.

Pumpkin pasta sauce?? OMG, this sounds heavenly! Your last line "serve over your favorite pasta immediately" made me want to run out and buy nutmeg and allspice (I have everything else) and make some TODAY...however, I'm feeling under the weather and will have to save this recipe for later. I'm sure my mother would LOVE this! Thanks for sharing and I'm happy to hear you're doing well.

i know why i made it - ever see butternut sqash ravioli? That was the start, then there was pumpkin to use and i do not always like it sweet. It was a "wow" to those who tried it.
