Spelt pappardelle with pumpkin, sage and walnuts recipe

While I love making pasta myself and have such fond memories of making it with my grandchildren when they were young, I have to be honest and say that 9 times out of 10 my pasta will be from a packet. But that packet will be well chosen I usually have spelt and wholewheat pasta, something seductively Italian and a packet of fine egg noodles sitting in my larder. It’s great to see that there are some really good Australian dried pastas available now, and this simple pumpkin and sage mixture is the perfect way to show it off.
