This creamy concoction was created after my long Labor Day weekend when I decided to see what all I could create using pumpkin. This turned out amazing. Was so creamy and the flavors really blended well. It will be a nice addition to any Harvest Table! Happy Fall!

    Cheese Sauce: In a blender combine the pumpkin and 1/2 cup of whipping cream. Blend. Set aside. In a large saucepan milt the butter over medium heat. Stir in the flour and some salt and pepper. Add the remaining whipping cream all at once and milk all at once. Cook stirring constantly over medium heat until slightly thick and bubbly. Stir in your cheese and pumpkin mixture. If a little too thick, you can add some more milk but slowly. Once combined, stir the sauce into your pasta and coat well.
