The Recipe

Tonight’s new recipe is for pumpkin and pancetta pasta. I really like cooking with what I call the orange vegetables: carrot, pumpkin, sweet potato and butternut squash.  Actually this weekend I’m planning on making a butternut squash, spinach and bacon soup, I’ll try and photograph it and share the recipe. 

I’ve used pumpkin as base for a pasta sauce before and it works really well.  This time I’ve added in some pancetta to add an extra bit of smokiness.

I made a double batch of this recipe and packed up the leftovers for lunch at work the next day.  I added a drizzle of water and popped it in the microwave for a couple of minutes and it tasted great.
