DD> Who writes this stuff? Spray a *NONSTICK* pan with *NONSTICK* spray ????
DD> What's the point of that. In my opinion it would be better to use a
DD> well=seasoned  cast iron skillet and some butter to saute that trinity.

I actually saw one recipe call for non-fat non-stick spray.  I didn't know
that existed.  "Yo dawg i heard you like non-stick chemicals, so here are
some extra non-stick chemicals to spray on your non-stick chemical coated
frying pan."

I am with you on that one.  I would rather eat something cooked in butter
in a cast iron skillet.

DD> Ah, well I'll likely never make that recipe. Pumpkin isn't my favourite
DD> member of the squash family. Why use it to muck about with honest pasta?

My sister told me that pumpkin pasta sauce is good.  I haven't tried it yet
but i have enjoyed Thai pumpkin curry.  Canned pumpkin is a seasonal thing
once the season is over, i can get unwanted surplus cheap or free.  I
normally put it in "pumpkin pie" style smoothies or quick breads, but i am
open to finding new ways to use it.

Here's a recipe for Pepperoni Spaghetti.  No pumpkin there :-)

I thought it was interesting that they fry the pepperoni before using it
as a topping.
