Happy Halloween




Happy Halloween Everyone! Just wanted to share one of my favorite recipes that I make every year for Halloween. Sounds a little odd but it is soooooo good!

Pasta with Creamy Pumpkin Sauce
1 pkg. (16 oz.) penne pasta, uncooked

1 lb. of maple flavored sausage
1 pkg. (8 oz.) PHILADELPHIA Cream Cheese, cubed
1/2 cup KRAFT Grated Parmesan Cheese
1/2 cup (1 stick) butter or margarine
1/2 cup milk
1 cup canned pumpkin
1/2 tsp. ground red pepper
ground nutmeg to taste

COOK pasta as directed on package and brown the sausage in a skillet.
MEANWHILE, place cream cheese, Parmesan cheese, butter and milk in large saucepan; cook on low heat until cream cheese is melted, stirring frequently. Add pumpkin and spices; cook until heated through, stirring occasionally.
ADD pasta and sausage; toss lightly. Serve topped with additional Parmesan cheese, if desired.
