So lets get started with some pumpkin sauce that is delicious on any pasta.

Vegan Pumpkin Walnut Sauce with Penne Pasta

One of things that is so special in fall is all the varieties of pumpkin that comes out this time of year. I love them all and take into great consideration of how healthy they are to eat.

Which brings me to  the Vegan Pumpkin Walnut Sauce with Penne Pasta recipe. I found this recipe a few years back on Martha Stewart and decided to make it vegan instead. Wanted to see if it would come out just as good and it did.

I didn't really miss anything because the dish itself is flavorful with the sage that enhances the pumpkin flavor.
