gluten free pumpkin alfredo pasta recipe


This is the week before Thanksgiving and as promised here is another gluten free recipe.
I wanted to include a recipe for the guests that are vegetarian. Not everyone likes turkey and it is nice to have a dish to serve your guests that do not eat meat.
This pasta dish is delicious and could be enjoyed as a main meal any time of the year even without thanksgiving right around the corner.
I roasted and pureed a small sugar pumpkin for this recipe. There is nothing wrong with canned pumpkin but when we have such a bountiful supply of pumpkins now, why not roast your own.

While this dish does have butter, whipping cream and parmesan cheese in it, you could easily substitute coconut oil, canned coconut cream and omit the parmesan cheese. This would then be a vegan dish.
