Fettucine Alfredo has been one of my all-time favourite comfort dishes since I was a child. Playing around and creating this fall-inspired replica for our community has been a dream! My children enjoyed every last bite as well and even asked for seconds. Could it get any better?

Are you ready to take the amazing flavour of pumpkin and turn it into a creamy pasta dish?! I know I am! Today’s recipe is creamy, filling, packed with flavour, and comes together in under 15 minutes.

All it takes is a….

Whisk – Boil – Mix – Serve!

In today’s world, we have a huge food waste problem and the Fall season is no different. There are SO many perfectly good pumpkins being tossed into the landfill when they could be donated to shelters, fed to animals, or turned into something as epic as this dish!

*p.s. If you want to learn how to make your very own homemade pumpkin puree, check out our latest blog post here. I promise you, homemade is so much better than the canned stuff and a GREAT way to avoid food waste from all of those “decoration pumpkins”. Woo hoo!

 

 

The best part about this healthy dinner recipe is the time: it could take as little as the cooking time on the package of your fettuccine noodles. While the pasta cooks, just whisk, boil, simmer, and then mix it all together! As a busy mom of two energetic little boys, this is a dream!

Compostable & Unbleached Parchment Paper

The parchment paper by “If You Care” is unbleached, chlorine free, and compostable. I have used this up to the highest oven setting without any issues! Paper, in it’s natural state is beige or light brown. For years people have subjected it to a bleaching process to create the white sheets we all know and love. Unfortunately, cleaning the paper is having the opposite effect on the environment. The most common bleaching agent – chlorine dioxide (ClO2) – occurs naturally as a component of salt, but once it separates from it’s natural pair it begins to cause problems. The paper bleaching process deposits chlorine in the lakes and streams where mills are most commonly located, and once there it bonds with organic matter in the form of dioxins. Dioxins are a group of highly toxic chemicals that are thought to pose negative effects on reproductive and immune system development, as well as cause several kinds of cancers. According to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, there is no safe level of dioxin exposure.
