Savory Pumpkin Sauce Over Rotini

I know what you’re thinking: Enough with the pumpkin-flavored foods already! Well, I say “no.” While pumpkin is certainly a craze about to implode on itself, I still enjoy a well-made pumpkin dip and, after today, a well-made pumpkin sauce. This recipe was inspired by our ol’ pal Martha Stewart, but she’s not the only… Continue reading Savory Pumpkin Sauce Over Rotini
