Pumpkin Alfredo Linguine






 

You can use any pasta that you have. I wouldn’t use Angel Hair pasta. You need a hearty pasta that will hold up to the sauce. 

I used a jar of Bartoli Alfredo Sauce and then added ingredients to it. 

I only cooked enough for 3 people. 3/4 box of linguine and 1/2 jar of Alfredo. 

You can make the Alfredo from scratch if you have that kind of time. 


Ingredients 

 3/4 package linguine cook as directed 

1/2 jar Bartoli Alfredo Sauce 

2Tbsp grated Parmesan 

1 Tbsp granulated garlic or use 1 clove fresh minced 

3 Tbsp dried or chopped fresh Basil

1/2 15 oz can pumpkin puree

Mix all ingredients except linguine, in large bowl. Set aside sauce until linguine is done. 

Do not drain pasta. Turn burner off and using a pasta spoon add pasta to prepared sauce. The pasta eats helps the sauce stick to the pasta. Mix and serve. The hot pasta will heat up the sauce.

Mini Cheesecakes with Apple Caramel Sauce I love making mini cheesecakes as they store really well and you don’t have to worry about eating too much. You can top them with almost anything. This recipe theses cheesecakes will be topped with a velvety fresh apple caramel sauce. I used a mixture of Granny Smith and Red Delicious . I peeled mined but you could leave the skins on the Red Delicious if you prefer. You can do the caramel sauce two different ways. Buy a jar of Smuckers or your favorite brand of caramel sauce or make your own using sugar and butter. I made a sauce for the apples and then used the jarred caramel sauce with it. Once the cheesecakes have cooled you can layer them in a container. I used a large container that held 4 on the bottom placed a piece of parchment paper and then stacked more and so on. I scored the apples separately and left the caramel in the jar until needed. The cheese cakes should be cupcake size. 1cup graham cracker crumbs 3/4 cup macadamia n...
