I made an easy extra side dish with the kabocha skin that was left over from when I made potage.Adjust the amount of salt and pepper according to the genovese sauce you use.The sauce I used was reduced salt, but if you are using store-bought which contains a lot of salt, you may not need to add any salt and pepper.

Bacon & Pumpkin Spaghetti Bacon & Pumpkin Spaghetti
I got the recipe from RealSimple blog and it was simple, although kinda sauce-less. Since the recipe is from RealSimple, the way to cook it is ALSO really simple. I tweaked it by seasoning the spaghetti with a little olive oil, salt, pepper, chicken powder and soy sauce. The amazing thing is that you don't really need to flavor anything else in the bacon tray because the bacon's got all of the flavor as it is!

Kabocha Squash and Bacon in Buttery Milk Soup Kabocha Squash and Bacon in Buttery Milk Soup
Vegetables are expensive! I bought affordable kabocha squash again, but my sons were tired of it, so I tried to use it up in a way that my daughter, who has just started on solid foods, could eat.Don't allow it to boil at all. The salt content in the miso will differ depending on your brand, so start with 1/2 teaspoon and add more if you like. Adults can crack over pepper on top to finish, adding a nice touch. For serving 2. Recipe by Necchan -
