Pumpkin Pasta of course sounds like an Autumn dish but we make it all year round when we are craving it and especially because the sauce holds well if you freeze it. However even though we like it a lot we don't make it that often except for this last month. This last Valentine's day Tom made pumpkin pasta and as any good cook does he tastes the sauce constantly as he is cooking it and of course just before serving. When he asked me to try the sauce on Valentine's day it tasted sweet, we thought it was because he added an extra can of pumpkin to the recipe. Later, as he was throwing away the can he noticed that it read "pumpkin pie mix" so instead of pumpkin pasta we had "pumpkin pie pasta." It was so sweet we just kept passing the mozzarella cheese to each other so that we could at least finish our plate. Our two year old daughter loved it and she was the ONLY one to have it for seconds on the next day. It was definitely a memorable "sweet" valentine's. Luckily he read the can the second time around!
Cheers & Enjoy,
Lily & Tom (my sweet Valentine cook)

Oh, We also buy the spicy italian sausage from Costco, it seems to work the best :-)
