Recipe: Pumpkin Sausage Sauce

A fun filled, busy day Saturday!  I SOLD OUT (I love those words) of La Tourangelle's EVOO spray.  By Sunday, I barely had any Pumpkin Pasta Sauce left in the store and Meat Department said I sold a lot of sausage.  Yippee and a pat on my back!

Pumpkin Sausage Sauce

1 jar TFM Pumpkin Pasta Sauce
3/4 to 1 lb. bulk sweet Italian Sausage
La Tourangelle EVOO spray
2 to 3 Tbl. chicken broth
1/3 c. raw pumpkin seeds

Heat a medium pot and spray with La Tourangelle olive oil.  Add pumpkin seeds and cook until lightly toasted.  Remove from pot and set aside.

Using same pot, heat and spray with La Tourangelle olive oil. Add sausage and cook thoroughly.  Add TFM Pumpkin Pasta Sauce.  Rinse jar with broth, add contents to pan.  Simmer until heated through.  Serve over zucchini noodles or your favorite pasta. Garnish with pumpkin seeds.

This was the HIT of the day.  Delicious and perfect for the fall.  

I used La Tourangelle's EVOO as it has a nice hint of pepper on the finish.  With this hint of pepper and salt from all the other products, I didn't have to use any seasoning.  Just cook and serve.

You can also add more sausage for a thicker sauce and serve over rolls as Sloppy Joes.

Another option is to use a tad less sausage, and more chicken (or vegetable broth) to make a soup.  Garnish soup with a dollop of sour cream, a drizzle of La Tourangelle's Walnut Oil, and pumpkin seeds.

No matter how you look at it, it's comfort food!

Enjoy!
