Make This Now: Creamy Pumpkin Rigatoni with 
Sausage Breadcrumbs
Come autumn, we’re putting pumpkin in everything. This brand new recipe from our test kitchen turns sweet canned pumpkin purée into a creamy pasta sauce that you can pull together in only 10 minutes. For a final flourish, we sprinkle the finished noodles with a crunchy sausage and panko breadcrumb topping. Satisfying and hearty (and with some good-for-you veggies snuck in), this insanely delicious pumpkin pasta screams fall. Get the recipe HERE.
