This was inspired! I made this last night & it was great! One note: the sauce was a little runny, so next time I will either cook down longer (i was in a hurry, what else is new) or maybe use less broth–?
Anyway, it was still great!

kielbasa – I’m not a big kielbasa fan but if you like it I’m sure it would be fine.

How do you think it would turn out using kielbasa?

I just want to say that it is so great to have the old WW points listed in your recipes since that is the plan that has always worked for me. Thanks so much for this very great site!

This sounds awesome! I had pumpkin ravioli with the family while vacationing in Seattle (a fresh and natural “Foodie” heaven!) and we loved it! So I cannot wait to try this! I just found your website this week and have made a ton of your recipes which my picky eaters have loved! Tip for dog owners- Mark Moroni’s show gave a tip about adding pumpkin to wet dog food. Stretches your dollar and increases fiber for your dog. Mine love it!

This sounds like a really interesting combination! I’m vegan so will try a version with meatless sausage and soy yogurt. Thanks for sharing!

I was poking around the kitchen last night trying to think of a way of combining what I had to make something a bit different and I noticed that I had a can of pumpkin – I remembered reading this recipe a while ago and so I thought – “why not”? Such compliments I got – the meal was delicious! I used Wegman’s “chicken sausages with spinach and feta cheese” as well as some onions and mushrooms. I didn’t have any yogurt, but I found just adding a little bit of white wine made the sauce tasty too!

You have great ideas which can be used by real people whipping together meals on regular weeknights! Thanks for the blog – I hope you can publish your cookbook!

I was so excited to try this meal that I cooked twice in a day (very rare!). I usually only cook once and eat the leftovers. Anywho, this was SO yummy!

My hubby said, “Pumpkin? Wow, it’s good!” Of course, silly man! I also added some pumpkin to my tomato sauce (following a comment on your blog) and it made it 10X better.

Awesome recipe :]

Amy – You can use any meat you like but without sausage you’ll probably have to bump op the seasoning. Maybe a bit more sage and garlic. The sausage does help flavor the pumpkin. If you give it a try let us know!

do you think if i make this with ground chicken breast or would it change the flavor of it? because the hubby doesnt like sausage

Tried this today and it was amazing. I added some extra spinach and used veggie sausage. The flavors are wonderful – absolutely perfect this time of year. Thanks for the unique and delicious recipe!

Made this last night and as I was making it, my fiance walked in the kitched, spotted the pumpkin and said, with full on attitude, “we’re having pumpkin in our dinner?!?!” I had to giggle thinking of your family :) I told him to just keep an open mind (and reminded him that if he didn’t like it, he knows where Subway is)…wouldn’t you know…he had 2 helpings!!! Thanks for posting this!! Can’t wait to make it again!

I’ve never made anything (longtime lurker) but I made this last weekend and it made enough for an entire weeks worth of dinners. I didn’t have sage so I omitted that, I bumped up the spinach, omitted the yogurt and used vegan italian sausage and it was DELICIOUS! So warm and hearty-thanks Roni!

Who woulda thought this combination would be so excellent!! I made it with a 16 oz box of pasta and it was still spicey and flavored enough.

Oh yea.. sausage brand is a huge variable! Glad you liked it! :)

I made this last night, it was a wonderful fall dish! When I calculated it was 10 points per serving but I am sure that is because of things like different brands of pasta and turkey sausage.

Tried this last night but I had to modify it slightly since I didn’t have all of the ingredients (used beef broth instead of chicken and thyme instead of sage). Would have been better your way for sure, but it was still pretty good and my husband even found some good things to say about it! Definitely a winner! Thanks! :-)

I made this tonight and it was really really good. My husband is not a big fan of pumpkin and I can’t get enough so I was worried that he wouldn’t like it. I tried to hood wink him but he caught me in the middle of scooping pumpkin out of the container… Still though, he liked it and even went back for seconds :)

I didn’t have any sage so I omitted but I’d like to get some and try it again with the sage.
