Pasta with Pumpkin Sauce with Broccoli

Recipe Description

I love this Pasta with Pumpkin Sauce in fall. It is a delicious creamy bowl of comfort food as the evenings grow cooler and the days get shorter. I love this recipe because it uses my favorite fall taste: pumpkin spice. The addition of brown sugar ensures that this dish has the right mix of sweet and savory! 

Start by cooking pasta and adding broccoli florets for the last few minutes of cooking time. Meanwhile, cook sausage in a skillet. Once cooked, add pumpkin spice and make a sauce by adding half and half, canned pumpkin pure and brown sugar. Mix the sauce with the pasta and broccoli and serve immediately. Enjoy! 

To make Pasta with Pumpkin Sauce, you will need the following ingredients:
