Sarah's Pumpkin Mascapone Pasta
Hi my name is Sarah, I’m half Dutch half Scottish and I love to cook, especially whilst listening to music. I particularly enjoy trying out recipes from different countries and regions not just because I love trying new things and flavours but because you learn a bit more about different cultures as I’m a big believer that food is culture. I created this pumpkin based recipe as it is currently autumn and I love to use seasonal produce in my cooking whenever I can, not just because it tastes better but because it is better for the environment. I made a big batch of pumpkin purée to use for several autumnal recipes and it’s definitely the star of the show in this recipe. I froze the leftover pumpkin purée and I look forward to trying out and creating other pumpkin purée based recipes!
