Lunch for the Littles

Lunch for the Littles
I have an amazing husband who likes to cook creative things, which leaves me with amazing leftovers to fix up for the Littles. Well, this weekend he stuffed a pumpkin, and let me tell you it was amazing (and if you want to know how you'll have to take it up with him because I'm just not that creative or ambitious of a chef). So, what do you do with leftover pumpkin? Well, this bowl of perfectly cooked pumpkin sat in my fridge right beside this half used jar of pasta sauce. Knowing that my Littles will always eat pasta, especially if its topped with cheese, I decided to get out of my box and be creative.
We had sneaky pumpkin pasta, though I told the Littles it was cheesy noodles.
So how is sneaky pumpkin pasta made you ask? Its really quite simple. You boil some of these:

And while that is going, you dump this in a pan:

Add some perfectly cooked pumpkin and use your weapon of choice, mine was a potato masher.

Add the pasta, dish it up and top with parmesan.

And how was this sneaky pumpkin received? Well, they didn't eat all of it, but they ate most of it, and really, what more can a momma ask for? :-)

Cheers!
