Instructions: How made Pasta with Italian Sausage and Pumpkin Sauce Recipe

1. Cook and stir Italian sausage in a large skillet over medium-high heat until the meat is browned, breaking it into crumbles as it cooks, about 10 minutes. Drain excess grease. Stir onion and garlic into sausage and cook until onion is translucent, about 5 minutes.
2. Fill a large pot with lightly salted water and bring to a boil. Stir in campanelle and return to a boil. Cook pasta uncovered, stirring occasionally, until cooked through but still firm to the bite, about 10 minutes; drain.
3. Stir pumpkin puree, chicken broth, half-and-half, sour cream, nutmeg, cinnamon, salt, and black pepper into the sausage mixture and cook, stirring often, until sauce is creamy and thick, about 5 minutes.
4. Transfer cooked campanelle pasta to a large pot and pour sausage and pumpkin mixture over pasta. Place over medium-high heat and gently stir until pasta mixture is heated through, 4 to 5 minutes. Serve topped with Parmesan cheese and Italian seasonin

What is Campanelle Pasta used for ?

Campanelle is delicious paired with hearty dairy-based sauces like cheese or béchamel, vegetable sauces like beans, lentils, chickpeas, pumpkin, or other chunky vegetables. It also goes well with meat, Italian Sausages sauces, fish-based sauces, or robust tomato-based sauce.Pasta comes in many appealing shapes and sizes, and one of the most delightful is Campanelle. This delicate but sturdy shape, which means "Bellflowers" in Italian, has fluted, petal-like edges and a hollow center for capturing sauce.

What is the difference between Italian sausage and sweet Italian sausage?

Mild real Italian sausage contains a mix of spices, like fennel or parsley, but no red pepper flakes. It's hot sausages that have the red pepper flakes. The difference between mild-flavored Italian sausage and sweet Italian sausage is that sweet Italian sausage has sweet basil in its spice mix.

How do you know which pumpkin has the most seeds?

Most pumpkins have a lot of seeds but the larger the pumpkin the more seed it will have. Those pumpkin guts are actually the meat of the pumpkin. The seeds and the stingy center might be called the guts. Smaller pumpkins are better for cooking.\
