Three Ingredient Pumpkin Sauce

26 Oct

Before we get to the three ingredient pumpkin sauce, let’s take a little looksy at the upcoming forecast here in the northeast, shall we?

Rain/snow showers?! Say what?! Please, it’s not even November yet… fingers crossed for no snow on Saturday!

Did you know today, October 26, is National Pumpkin Day?

It seems only natural that I supply a pumpkin recipe in celebration of the holiday! ;-) What makes this recipe even better? You only need three ingredients!

Three Ingredient Pumpkin Sauce

Ingredients:

  • About 2 tbsp. brie cheese (I’m sure another cheese could be substituted.)
  • 1/2 c. canned pumpkin
  • 1/2 c. milk (I used reduced-fat)
  • Salt & pepper to taste (We all have these on-hand, so they don’t count as “ingredients”!)

Directions:

  • Soften the brie in the microwave for about 20 seconds.
  • Add the pumpkin & milk to the cheese & add salt & pepper to taste; whisk together until smooth.

So simple! This reminded me of macaroni & cheese, only the pumpkin/cheese sauce was much lighter-tasting, which I actually preferred!

I served the sauce over a small bowl of pasta, which I enjoyed with a salad for a quick, post-spin dinner!

Are you celebrating National Pumpkin Day? What’s your favorite way to enjoy the fall fruit? (Yes, it’s a fruit & yes, I had to look that up!)

    YUM!! My favorite meal is mac & cheese, so I will definitely be trying this pumpkin sauce over pasta ASAP! :)

      Yay! It sort of gives you that same taste but without all the fat & calories. However, be warned, it’s definitely not the same as digging into a gigantic bowl of real mac & cheese!

    Wow! What a good idea! I would have never thought to put pumpkin in a sauce!

    My favorite pumpkin item right now would have to be pumpkin seeds. They are SO addicting!

    I’m pretty jealous of that awesome weather you’ve got goin’ on over there. Orlando got down in the 50′s last week, but now were back up in the 70′s. Boooo.

      I’d definitely take a snow day; unfortunately, it’s supposed to snow on the weekend. What’s the point? ;-)
