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.

Golden Couscous
Couscous is a very tiny pasta. It is not a grain and a staple of many North African countries. It is made from semolina (coarsely ground durum wheat) and water. The couscous is then coated with flour to prevent them from sticking. It has a nutty flavor. I usually also add sultanas (golden raisins).
