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.

Bolognese Sauce
I love making Bolognese Sauce! Chopping the vegetables in a food processor makes this classic bolognese very fast and allows them to disintegrate and thicken the sauce, which helps coat the pasta. You can also add some red wine to this sauce.
