How To Make pumpkin sauce & apple chicken sausage pasta toss

Step 1

Cook Pasta of your choice & reserve a little of the water if needed to thin sauce. Cover & set aside... Heat oil in deep or Wok style pan,Add Sausage that has been cut into 1/2" slices & Brown Add:Leek or onion & garlic & cook til slightly tender Add: Broth,evap.milk,pumpkin,cinn,nutm.& S & P,bring up to boil then reduce heat & cook just to thicken ,then add spinach & simmer 5 more mins. Add sour cream & mix to blend.If sauce is to thick you can add a few Tablespoons of pasta water to it to loosen for your liking.

Step 2

Toss into Pasta of your choice. I find Bow Ties,Rollitini or shells best, as it catches the sauce the best. This recipe is so versitile as you can add more sausage or make more pasta according to the size of your family. If your family is small you can freeze 1/2 the sauce for another time .
