Spiralized Zucchini Alfredo with Pumpkin Ricotta

This one-pan meal includes spiralized zucchini that is coated in a lightened up creamy Greek yogurt alfredo sauce topped with dollops of a delicious pumpkin ricotta mixture

Hi Friends!

Today I am sharing my new favorite savory pumpkin dish creation, Spiralized Zucchini Alfredo with Pumpkin Ricotta!  The recipe also happens to be a one-pan recipe made with zucchini cut into spirals using a spiralizer (instead of white pasta) and coated with a lightened up alfredo sauce made with Greek yogurt. The mixture is topped with small dollops of a pumpkin ricotta mixture and fresh sage.  I have one word – Yum!

To be honest when I started dreaming up this recipe I was really not sure if the outcome would edible.  As a food blogger sometimes you think you have the most delicious recipe idea in your idea, but when you put those ideas into action and cook or bake the recipe you are incredibly disappointed with the final product.  I have to admit this happens to me on occasion – which means some recipes require many remakes before I get to perfect final product.

I decided to make this recipe one Sunday afternoon, knowing there was a good chance we could not depend on it for our dinner meal.  Simultaneously while working on this recipe I also made a household staple of bean burritos.  After one bite of the dish, I knew the bean burritos would not be necessary for our dinner that night!
