Simply delicious! I used vegetable broth, and I had roasted a real fresh pumpkin, so I used roasted pumpkin instead of purée. I also threw in an early dash of cayenne pepper powder, instead of hot sauce, leader, as most of the hot sauce I have is vinegar based. <br />This was so delicious, the flavors really blend nicely together, and it was easy to make! It was a heavy meal, so though I wanted to eat more, I felt that it was already heavy on my stomach. I think this would pair well with a nice salad, and of course I had crispy Italian bread. I also did not use wheat pasta, just didn’t have any in the house. I would like to incorporate more vegetables, if anyone does, please include that in your review.
