Creamy Pumpkin Bacon Carbonara Pasta!

THIS REICPE IS GOLDEN! Pure gold guys. And it is also day 2 of #rachLpumpkinweek soooo we are coming in hot with a new pumpkin recipe. Yesterday we made pumpkin cinnamon rolls, and I am still swooning over them.

This is our first carbonara recipe here on the blog. And I have a feeling that we are going to make a lot of them after we obsessed over this bowl of noodles. But this one guys – damn the flavors are insane. The bacon with the creamy squash pasta sauce is truly in a league of its own. Right after we made it, we regretted not also putting fresh sage in it too. So if you’re a fan of sage – add it on in and let us know what you think.

I have a feeling you guys are going to absolutely love this recipe as much as we do. I cannot wait to hear what you think. And to see you make these pumpkin recipes all week long! (and really all season long!!).
