Pumpkin tagliatelle with pumpkin seed pesto – bye-bye until autumn



I think this is the last pumpkin recipe in this season. Because here comes spring! Yeah! I think that lots of people are in love with this vegetable. If you ask me, I have to say I like it, but I won’t kill myself just because I won’t eat it until autumn.
