Pumpkin pasta! Fall zucchette is too cute

More fall! Trader Joes is a treasure trove this year for it. Saw these last year but never tried, Fall zucchette pasta look like little pumpkins<3 There made of wheat and butternut squash which sneaks a little veggies into your pasta even (hoping the little wont notice). The shapes remind me of stuff shells as well, so thought ricotta would be a good mix! Had the spicy chunky tomato sauce and paired them together for this fun fall dish.

Look at these pumpkin cuties!

There precious! Like little pumpkins with the tops missing. If I had the time or patients might try stuffing them, could be an adorable appetizer like that! A lot of work but beyond cute…..may have to try it soon 🙂 The color is amazing from the squash and paprika, there so vibrant. Taste is a little thick but it helps them hold there shape, worth it for fall pasta. Just love them so much look wise.

Sauce them up!

Such a great combo! The spicy chunky sauce lives up to the name, it has some heat and chunks of tomato in it. The heartiness is perfect for a pasta like this, it can be little cups! The ricotta cools it off after the initial kick and adds a creaminess to the dish. Ricotta is something I always forget how much I love till I have it again. The colors stay vibrant and just a great easy dinner. Can add in some meatballs or sausage and be set *remember the pasta hides some veggies 🙂 I give the pasta 9/10, so and so versatile–might try an app with them sometime soon 🙂
