Creamy Pumpkin and Goat Cheese Pasta That Uses Just 1 Pot
Most times when people think of pumpkin, they only think of pumpkin spice lattes at Starbucks or pumpkin pie served at Thanksgiving. What if I were to tell you that pumpkin can be used for so much more? What about if I told you it could be the exact change that your pasta needed?
In this pumpkin and goat cheese pasta recipe, some of the ingredients are really up to personal taste, such as the nutmeg and white wine (although my personal suggestion is that the wine is completely necessary). If you're looking for a thicker sauce, reduce the amount of wine and add a little more goat cheese. If you want your sauce a little thinner, add more wine to water it down.
