Pumpkins aren't just for pies or Halloween decorations. These large, orange gourds - while naturally sweet - also work well in savory dishes. They pair well with poultry and pork (and especially bacon) and their creamy-when-cooked texture blends easily into soups.

I have made this recipe 3 times, and it never really worked out, but was never awful. The method of cooking the bratwurst was interesting and made for good meat, but the pasta needs something to tie it together as it is very dry. It needs some sort of sauce because rigatoni on it's own is pretty bland, even with the seasonings and cheese. Perhaps more cheese is needed. It's an interesting recipe, but it seems incomplete.
