Spicy Pumpkin Noodle Bowl Recipe
The pumpkin filling in the ravioli was both sweet and savory, and filled with spices that made my mouth sing!
What is the first thing that comes to mind when you think of pumpkin?
Pumpkin pie? Pumpkin spice coffee? Carving pumpkins at Halloween?
For many of us, pumpkin flavors remind us of the fall and holiday seasons, but that isn’t the only time of the year that we can enjoy it! As a good source of fiber and Vitamin A, as well as a lower calorie option for recipes, pumpkin can be a magic ingredient that makes a dish truly special.
My final decision was inspired by a delicious pumpkin ravioli I had from an Italian restaurant a few months ago. The pumpkin filling in the ravioli was both sweet and savory, and filled with spices that made my mouth sing! I didn’t want to make ravioli, though, but some type of pasta – yes, spaghetti noodles!
I believe that the end result is not only delicious but unique and interesting. The best part? IT’S SO EASY TO MAKE.
