Savory Pumpkin Sauce with bacon

Savory Pumpkin Sauce with bacon

Savory Pumpkin Sauce with bacon @createdbydiane

Fall is one of my favorite times of year…

I won’t lie, it has a lot to do with PUMPKIN!

I look forward to making all things pumpkin this time of year. I  never know why it ever has to end.

All things pumpkin don’t have to be all sweet, have you tried any savory pumpkin dishes?

I really like Pumpkin Mashed Potatoes they are a true favorite.

Good thing I don’t have to only choose one favorite when it comes to pumpkin, it would be WAY too difficult to choose.

I could see the contest now…one bowl of pasta, one bowl of potatoes, another bowl of pasta, another bowl of potatoes. I’d be on a carb overload for days trying to choose.

I do really love carbs!

Since there is no reason to have to decide between the two, lets get started making this fun pasta and sauce.

Coloring Pasta @createdbydiane

 

I colored  a pound of spaghetti with orange and black food coloring like I did with Red, White & Blue Spaghetti a few months ago.

I use Americolor food coloring and find that there is no after taste with this food coloring.

Pumpkin Pasta Sauce with bacon @createdbydiane

The bacon gives this sauce a slightly smokey flavor which I think is perfect  for this.

I garnished the dish with grated Romano Cheese and roasted shelled pumpkin seeds.

    This sounds so good! Love the colored pasta. Do you have instructions on how to do it? I’d love to try it myself. Are the americolor food colorings available nation-wide, do you know?

    Thanks!

      I linked to the instructions, here is the post I showed more photos in https://www.createdby-diane.com/2013/07/red-white-and-blue-spaghetti.html
      I purchase Americolor at cake supply stores or order it online.
      Let me know if you have any questions

    I ate it at the restaurant and enjoyed it. I tried many times but failed. Today saw your guide I learned a lot and drawn many useful things. I believe this time I will succeed. Thanks a lot!
