Outside The Pumpkin Box

I’m definitely more of a savory than sweet kind of girl. I don’t really like desserts, but I do like to make them for others. Anyway, it’s pumpkin everything season and I’m leaning in! Over the years I’ve made many things with pumpkin but for this post I wanted to make a seasonally healthy and savory pumpkin dish.

This recipe has heat which makes it perfect for a chilly fall day. This recipe is so simple that I had all of the ingredients in my house before I even decided what to make.

Today we’re making…

Pumpkin Spaghetti Squash with Seared Scallops

While you’re waiting for those to cool down, make your sauce…

I had six scallops so that’s how many I used. They are extremely easy to make. Simply add some butter to a pan, let it sizzle, then toss in your scallops. Sear for about 4-5 minutes or so on each side. Then add it to your dish and top with basil.

This meal is so elegant and healthy to boot. Isn’t it fun to think outside the pumpkin box?

Have a beautiful day!
