Pumpkin Baked Ziti

Paula Deen is always hilarious, but watching her make this dish with Richard Simmons was a riot! Two complete opposites- Butter/Nut... Queen of Butter and Health Nut!
In the printable recipe I will list his lighter version of this recipe.
Here's the link to the video if you want to check it out.

This dish was really good with a light pumpkin flavor-we used regular sausage but definitely would recommend using the sweet Italian that it calls for.

The sauce-onion, garlic, crushed red pepper flakes, pumpkin, chicken stock, and cream.

Cook and drain the sausage.

We used whole wheat pasta, I personally like the taste of it better than regular pasta.

Add the sauce to the pasta and toss to coat.

Divide between 8 prepared ramekins.

Sprinkle tops with Parmesan cheese and bake for 35 minutes until topping is golden brown.

Doesn't this look yummy!?!
Enjoy!!

  2. This sounds wonderful. Rachael Ray had a pumpkin sausage soup recipe that I really enjoyed, so I bet this pasta is great!

  4. How comforting! Pumpkin and pasta is so great together. Lately I've gotten into whole-wheat pasta as well, but I like going back and forth sometimes depending on my mood :)
