    Frequently Asked Questions

    Can you freeze pumpkin pasta sauce?

    Yes! I love to double this gluten free creamy pumpkin pasta sauce recipe so I have enough for dinner that night and some to freeze for a quick meal another night. I let the sauce cool completely. Then I put half in a freezer safe bag or container. If I'm using a bag I lay it flat on a cookie sheet to freeze so I can stack it in my freezer.

    When I want to use the frozen pasta sauce I get it out and put it in the fridge the night before. Then I reheat it in a saucepan to pour over my gluten free noodles after they have cooked. It makes an easy and quick weeknight meal!

    What can you do with leftover canned pumpkin?

    Make this gluten free creamy pumpkin pasta sauce! This recipe calls for one cup of pumpkin puree so it's perfect to use up what's left in a large can of pumpkin puree. If you are using a 15 ounce can of pumpkin puree you could double this recipe and use the entire can.

    When you just have a few tablespoons of leftover pumpkin I like to add it to my morning oatmeal with chopped walnuts or to my breakfast smoothie. If you are making another pasta dish you can add in the leftover pumpkin for a creamy texture to your sauce.
