Natasha from Gather Around Our Table, here! I’m excited to share with you a warm fall inspired meal that will be perfect for your Thanksgiving feast! This makes a great casserole substitute since it contains some healthier ingredients and is completely dairy free!
I love creating dairy free meals with the same tastes and textures as real dairy. This pasta sauce is creamy from the pumpkin and rich with flavor. Feel free to add a meat to it if you want, I think ground sausage would be perfect. It can also be used with any pasta you have on hand. I love the orecchiette pasta because they are shaped like little “cups,” catching all the sauce in the noodle for each bite.

This looks seriously amazing, and I know my lactose intolerant son would be all over this as a stand in for the old favorite we know and love (mac and cheese)! Perfect combo of healthy, flavors of fall, and hearty. I will definitely be trying this one out!
I have never thought to put pumpkin with pasta but this sounds really, really delicious! I will have to give this a try. Thanks Natasha!
This combination of ingredients sounds intriguing, and I cannot wait to try it because it sounds super comforting and like the perfect side dish! Thanks for sharing, lady!
