Il a été un long, à long terme depuis que j'ai passé en revue a Le gourmet de Dave produit. En fait, n'importe qui qui me connaît bon a entendu que l'histoire de sauce/Chili Cookoff à folie et ce seul étaient assez pour me garder au compartiment pendant un moment.

Quoi qu'il en soit, la plupart d'entre toi qui sont au courant du gourmet de Dave sait qu'il n'est pas tout au sujet de la chaleur. En fait, Dave fait des pas énormes avec sa ligne des produits en ce qui concerne les ingrédients sains et organiques.

J'aime toujours quand je vois un produit que je suis dessiné pour chercher. C'était le cas avec de la cette sauce. Maintenant, puisque j'écris pour un blog épicé de nourriture et ce n'est pas épicé j'a donné beaucoup de pensée au sujet de ce que j'ai voulu faire. J'ai regardé autour de la maison et ai trouvé les produits de tout Dave que j'ai qui pourrait rendre quelque chose de épicé et dit, « l'apporte dessus. »

I am a huge butternut squash fan. It’s a comfort food for me. They are harvested in the fall and they are just so wonderful served warm on a cool autumn evening. This pasta sauce utilizes the butternut squash very well and the experience of the aforementioned in a pasta sauce really thrilled me.

I admit that I’ve never thought of using butternut squash with pasta, so it was a new experience. Of course the first taste was sweet. Now, butternut squash is fundamentally sweet, but the red bell pepper, onion and cane juice added more sweetness; and you could taste those individual flavors within the sauce, which was nice. I was wondering how this sweetness was going to be with pasta. It was also smooth…blended kind of smooth. Smooth is a texture I’m not used to with pasta sauce in addition to it being a bit on the thick side, but I continued on. I didn’t want to add anything wild to the sauce since I wanted pure taste. However, I have to admit that some Dave’s Ghost Pepper sauce just seemed to sneak in there. I had to add in the heat.

I wanted to choose a meat that went well with both pasta and butternut squash and at the risk of overuse, chicken was perfect. I blackened some chicken and mixed in sautéed peppers and onions for the veggies and protein. I used blackening because I thought it would be a nice balance with the sweetness of the sauce. It was perfect! The savory flavor of the chicken and veggies were perfect with the sauce and made this pasta dish very different, but wonderful.

I have to add that if you’re a pasta sauce purist, you may find this sauce TOO different for your taste. But if you want to step outside of the tomato based pasta sauce box, definitely get this. It’s amazing.

The next time I buy this sauce, I will do something different. For my own taste, the sauce was a bit thick. I adored the flavor, but would have loved to have it a bit thinner. Most likely I would do this with stock, but it depends on the pairing. If we’re talking the same meal I described above, I would use a bit of chicken stock. However, if it were just a vegetable pairing I may add juice, wine or even tomato sauce. For those who like a lot of heat, you could simply add hot sauce and some water to thin it down.

All in all, I highly recommend this. This is the perfect pasta sauce to buy for having people dine with you who can handle varied heat levels since you can tailor the heat to your exact specifications. You know the saying, “You can always add the heat, but you can’t remove it once it’s there.” Dave’s Ghost Pepper sauce will be written about at a later date, but it was a fantastic addition both by taste and heat level with this sauce.
