Now that it’s October, this recipe had to come out of hiding. This pasta is SO good and probably the best dairy-free pumpkin pasta recipe you can find. IT’S SO EASY TO MAKE. Kids love it too! It’s perfect for dinner or lunch. 🙂 Enjoy!

Ingredients:

  • 1 cup pumpkin puree
  • 1/2 cup coconut cream
  • 5 cloves minced garlic
  • 2 tablespoon olive oil
  • 6 oz gluten-free pasta of your choice
  • vegetable broth (optional to use as a thickener)
  • 2 organic chicken breasts

Directions:

  1. Cook pasta according to package directions and set aside.
  2. Next, heat half the oil in a large frying pan over medium-high heat. Cook chicken breasts 7-10 minutes on each side, or until browned all over. Transfer to a bowl.
  3. Add oil the same pan and then add the minced garlic and cook until fragrant.
  4. Next, add pumpkin puree and mix with the garlic.
