Sausage Carbonara
Try this Sausage Carbonara when you don't have bacon. Carbonara is an Italian pasta dish from Rome, based on eggs, cheese (Pecorino Romano or Parmigiano-Reggiano), bacon or pancetta, and black pepper. This recipe uses sausage instead of bacon. Spaghetti is usually used as the pasta, however, fettuccine, rigatoni, or bucatini can also be used. You can also throw in some frozen peas.

Fresh Pumpkin and Sage Pasta
Fresh Pumpkin and Sage Pasta is healthy and easy to make. One of my favorite autumn meals is pumpkin ravioli with sage. We had this right after we got married over 30 years ago. I have made raviolis, but I was lazy this weekend and tried this version, which uses grated pumpkin. This is a fairly healthy dish, but after making it, I thought it could use some creaminess. Here is what I would do next time:
Take out one cup of the sautéed pumpkin and purée it with about 1/2 cream or half and half, then stir it into the pumpkin mixture.
