Absolutely delicious! Changes: made my own Italian style sausage using lean ground turkey meat and added some squeezes of honey at the end to balance out all the savoriness - it's now one of our new favorite pasta dishes. This is perfect anytime -but especially on a chilly day or nite- it almost feels like a hearty bowl of chili, but instead of beans you are using pasta! Really delicious, the nutmeg really comes through in a great way - all the flavors work well-it's a unique dish that doesn't disappoint if you enjoy lots of layers of flavor! Definitely a must try it! Ps-there is a slightly different version on rachael rays show site that omits the cinnamon and replaces these onions with shallots-I tried it without the cinnamon 1st and found it to be missing something, when i added the cinnamon it was perfect!

I was excited about trying this recipe, however the flavors did not come together as well as I had expected. Will be looking for a new Pumpkin pasta recipe in the future.

This pasta wasn't a favorite, but it wasn't bad by any means. I really wish I would have added more nutmeg. I don't think I grated enough in to the pot. It had a warm kind of taste, but I think I left out too much nutmeg. My husband and picky brother-in-law ate it without complaints. Also, I made the simple salad she suggests with it, and it was delicious. My husband actually ate the dressing. He usually won't eat anything besides ranch. Overall it was good, but I think I'll only make it once a year around Halloween or Thanksgiving.

This dish is absolutely one of my favorites, and seems to be popular among my friends. The sauce has a very sophisticated flavor, elegant, smooth, delicious.

This is a great recipe and an awesome use of pumpkin! I used hot Italian sausage for a little extra spice with the cooling pumpkin (I used a full 29 ounce can to get extra sauce and also added two cups of mushrooms (mix of shiitake and cremini at the end. Because I’m lactose intolerant, I swapped out the cream for Silk Soy Creamer which my guests didn’t seem to notice as they raved about their meal. If you’re interested in my full non-dairy take on this recipe and others you can check out my entry on the lactosefreeladies blog on blogspot.

I had been blessed with an abundance of fresh pumpkin this fall, so in looking for recipes, I found this one. WONDERFUL and very different! I used fresh Applesauce-cinnamon chicken sausage which I am able to get at my local Sunflower Market, plus I sauteed some slivers of red pepper in with the onions, and a small amount of jalapeno pepper ... I read somewhere that cinnamon and pepper make a good surprising combo, and it really worked.
My husband is not really into salads, but loves cooked spinach ... so I served the hot pasta dish over a bed of spinach, which wilted rapidly and then garnished with some fresh Parmesan.
Now I need to go look for more pumpkin recipes! Thanks Rachael!

I had been craving something with a pumpkin base and stumbled across this recipe. I was a little nervous because I don't usually cook with white wine and I didn't want to mess up any of the steps. Let me tell you...it was all worth it in the end! This is literally one of the best things I have ever eaten. Definitely restaurant quality! The only issue I had was getting the sauce to thicken (took longer than I expected. I also eased up on the sage since I'm not a fan of it's flavor. I will definitely make this again, and next time invite over a crowd!

Since my husband loves anything "pumpkin", I knew I had to give this recipe a try...it was absolutely delicious! I followed another reviewer's suggestion of using a whole can of pumpkin and I used half 'n half instead of heavy cream. It was really creamy! Even my 4 1/2 year old daughter gobbled it up! Will definitely make this again!

I remember I tried this last year and fell in love with the dish! I also made it for my family when I went to visit and they enjoy the flavors. I added some dried pepper flakes for a little kick but overall it's a winner! I even started a recipe box to find it quickly when company comes by.
