Happy Halloween!!
Isn’t my baby cousin the cutest!? She has multiple Halloween costumes today… such a princess already 
Last night I made “Spooky Pasta” which used mainly healthy ingredients (minus the cheese!) and it was a big hit. It also includes Pumpkin and has a TON of protein… Good way to get your children to eat something different (or your husband).
Spooky Pasta
Ingredients
- 6 ounces pasta (I used mung bean pasta which is Gluten Free and has 20 grams of protein per serving)
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 1 clove garlic, chopped
- 3/4 cup rice milk (or whatever milk you use)
- 1/4 cup vegetable stock
- 1/2 cup pumpkin puree (not pumpkin pie mix)
- 4 ounces goat cheese
- 1/4 cup Parmesan, grated
- 1/4 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
- salt and pepper to taste
Directions
- Cook the pasta as directed on the package.
- Melt the butter in pan over medium heat, add the garlic and cook until fragrant, about a minute.
- Add the milk, broth, pumpkin puree, goat cheese, Parmesan and pumpkin pie spice and simmer until the cheese has melted.
- Remove from heat and season with salt and pepper.
- Poor sauce over cooked pasta and serve on a plate.
- Add 2 goat cheese circles for eyes. I had to use chocolate chips for the eyeball but an olive would work best!
Enjoy!
Hope everyone has a fun Halloween! If you get a chance, watch this 2 minute video my brother sent me about giving children healthy candy.
