I had to make this as a quick substitute for forgetting tomato sauce at the store, it ended up being a welcomed mistake forgetting tomatoes!

I'm curious, did you find that the pumpkin flavor really shone through in this recipe, or was it mostly a base for the other flavors? I'm intrigued!


Man i wish hey sold canned pumpkin here in australia! theres so many great recies i come across on here that use it!


Sounds wonderful!


The pumkin did keep it's flavor very nicely even with all the other ingredients. I used organic locally grown and canned pumkin that was high quality which could have something to do with it. (This ends up being a very dense sauce when it cools so I recomend keeping the burner on low.)
