Hi, Kate! Tonight I made this recipe using rigatoni and it turned out absolutely delicious! It was so satisfying; the pumpkin and cheese flavors were perfectly balanced. I’d been looking for an easy, one-pot recipe for pumpkin mac & cheese with a relatively short list of flavorful ingredients. Your recipe not only hit the mark on all points, the finished dish tastes even better than I’d imagined. Thank you for such a fantastic recipe!

This was really tasty! The consistency was perfect for stove top mac and the pumpkin flavor and pumpkin spice are very subtle. I did not have onion powder but otherwise made the recipe as written. Thanks for a delicious recipe I look forward to making again!

So delicious, my daughter and I loved it! We had it with a side of roasted broccoli. I love pumpkin recipes, so I was very excited to try this, and it was so easy. Yum!

In reply to C. Dennis. Hello, I recommend the recipe as written, so if you were scaling back I would scale the other ingredients accordingly.

Hey Kate! If I were going to make this with half the amounts of Cheese would you suggest we cut back on the other ingredients too? What about the Pumpkin?

Made this for the first time and my daughter and son in law loved it! The taste is perfect. However, I am curious if you think this would still turn out if I were to use half the cheese as well? Thank you Kate!

Another great recipe from Cookie and Kate. Having just made the Spinach Lasagna last week (amazing), I thought the pumpkin mac & cheese sounded interesting, and it did not disappoint. Everyone I mentioned it to thought “ooo, pumpkin mac & cheese” but this is not pie sweet pumpkin, it is way better, savory and warm and filling. Followed the recipe and used the Jovial GF pasta (just keep in mind that this pasta cooks much quicker, so 8 mins in step 2 would be way too much time). Thanks Kate.

Such a cozy fall-comfort recipe, I love how creamy and rich it turns out, especially using just one pot. I could totally imgaine pairing this with some crusty bread or a fresh salad.
Thanks for sharing this delicious twist!
