Harvest Peppery Pumpkin Sauce Recipe PlantBased GlutenFree

Autumn Peppery Pumpkin Sauce - Plant-Based GF

Nutriment Health and Fitness
Pumpkin season is here, and what a way to enjoy a really easy meal after a hard days work.
If you have never tried Ramen noodles, they are delicious and full of protein. Texture and taste is very much like noodles. You can substitute for gluten free pasta if you do not have any. But give them a try sometime if you haven't. 
Takes only 20 minutes to make. Super easy!
If you would like to remove the spicy, omit the red pepper flakes, and only use 1/4 tsp of black pepper ground.
Texture is soft chewy noodle, with a smoky, peppery, tomato pumpkin sauce. So creamy!.
