PUMPKIN RECIPES

I LOVE "pumpkin" flavored...anything.  Here are a couple of my favorite pumpkin recipes:

PUMPKIN PANCAKES:
This one is so easy.....just add a couple spoonfuls (maybe 1/2 cup)  of pumpkin puree (that you got from your leftover pumpkins) 1/2 tsp each  of cinnamon and nutmeg or 1tsp of  pumpkin pie spice if you have on hand to regular pancake mix and make pancakes like you would normally make....you'll taste a wonderful warm, spice flavor that is perfect for this time of year!

PUMPKIN/SAGE RAVIOLIS:

Ingredients:
-wonton wrappers
-pumpkin puree (about 1 cup)
-lowfat or fat free ricotta cheese or cream cheese (I like to use a mixture of ricotta and pumpkin cream cheese) (about 1 cup)
-nutmeg
-cinnamon
-sage leaves or dried
Directions:
-mix ricotta or cream cheese and pumpkin together until well blended, add 1/2 tsp each  of sage, cinnamon, and nutmeg...mix together
-take a wonton wrapper and place 1 tbsp of mixture inside...fold right bottom corner over to meet left top corner to form a triangle, press to seal edges and brush with water or egg white if you have to completely seal
-repeat with remaining wrappers....should make about 24...if you have leftover wrappers, freeze and make more on another occasion
-spray a nonstick skillet with butter spray (such as Pam) at medium high heat, and saute your raviolis for a few minutes on each side until golden brown and crispy
Delicious served with a brown butter sauce or your favorite pasta sauce will do....if you want my recipe for sage brown buttered sauce......follow and comment on my blog and you will get it....

HAPPY FALL EATING Y"ALL!
