My husband LOVES this meal.
He literally almost begs me to make it the second it is October and the cans of pumpkin start hitting the shelves at our local grocery store.
It’s fairly easy to make and the smells make your house feel warm and cozy with fall.

Oh my goodness, this sounds so good!!! I’ll have to make it tomorrow and improvise on the penne. We’re trying took eat lower carb meals. But I’m sure it would taste good even if I did my usual part pasta noodles, part zucchini noodles. I’ll have to switch to spaghetti to make it less obvious, though. (Wink, wink! 😉) Thanks for sharing!
