Hello, foodies! Today, I’m excited to share a unique recipe that combines the comforting flavors of autumn with a surprising twist. This sweet and savory pumpkin pasta is perfect for a cozy night in or a special gathering with loved ones. Let’s get cooking!

Ingredients:

  • 200g pumpkin puree

  • to taste

Kitchen Tools:

  • large pot
  • skillet
  • colander
  • wooden spoon

To start, cook the pasta according to the package instructions in a large pot of salted water. In a skillet over medium heat, cook the diced bacon until crispy. Remove from the skillet and set aside on a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess grease.

In the same skillet, add the pumpkin puree and dried cranberries. Stir in the maple syrup and season with salt and pepper to taste. Let the mixture simmer for a few minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.

Once the pasta is cooked, drain it in a colander and add it to the skillet with the pumpkin sauce. Toss everything together until the pasta is well coated. Crumble the crispy bacon on top and sprinkle the feta cheese over the dish.

Give the pasta a final gentle stir to incorporate all the ingredients. Serve hot and enjoy the unique combination of sweet pumpkin, salty bacon, tangy feta, and chewy cranberries in every bite.

Final Details:

Total weight of cooked dish: 725g
Number of servings: 4
Average weight of one serving: 181.25g

Pro tip: For an extra layer of flavor, try roasting the pumpkin before pureeing it for a caramelized taste that will take this dish to the next level.

I hope you give this sweet and savory pumpkin pasta a try soon. Feel free to customize it with your favorite ingredients and make it your own. Happy cooking!
