I may have just made the best steak of my life… and this creamy pumpkin pasta wasn’t too bad either 👀🎃 Made from garden to table in my @zwilling_usa Milano sauté pan. Save this one for fall, & shop the Milano collection at the link in my bio!
CREAMY PUMPKIN STEAK RIGATONI
10 oz rigatoni
1–1¼ lb NY strip or sirloin Salt + black pepper
1 tbsp avocado oil
2 tbsp butter 3–4 garlic cloves, smashed
2 sprigs rosemary
1 large shallot, sliced
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 tsp fresh thyme
¾ cup pumpkin purée
⅓ cup heavy cream
1 tsp Dijon
⅛ tsp nutmeg
½ cup grated Parmesan
1–1½ cups reserved pasta water
1–2 tsp lemon juice
Cook pasta just shy of al dente and reserve the pasta water. Season and sear the steak in avocado oil. Flip, add butter, smashed garlic + rosemary, and baste until cooked to your liking. Remove and rest. In the same pan, sauté the shallot, then add minced garlic + thyme. Stir in pumpkin and cook 1–2 minutes. Add cream, Dijon, nutmeg, ½ cup pasta water + black pepper. Add pasta + Parmesan and toss over low heat, adding pasta water until silky. Finish with lemon juice and season to taste. Slice the steak and serve over the pasta with Parmesan, thyme + cracked black pepper.

Sweet potato harvest!! They weighed out to be ~24 lbs! Definitely enough to eat on through the winter. Purple variety is purple majesty from @reneesgardenseeds and orange variety is Bayou Belle from @sowtrueseed 💜

I turned this week’s harvest into Thai Basil Beef Bowls with blistered tomatoes + smashed cucumber in my @zwilling_usa Milano pan. SAVE this one because it was so good! & shop the collection at the link in my bio! #sponsored
SMASHED CUCUMBER 1 cucumber
1 tbsp rice vinegar
½ tsp each salt + sugar
1 garlic clove
2 tbsp cilantro
SAUCE
2 tbsp soy sauce
1 tbsp each fish sauce, honey + rice vinegar
1 tsp sesame oil 1 tsp cornstarch
2 tbsp water
½ tsp red pepper flakes
STIR FRY
1 lb ground beef
1 onion
2 sweet peppers
4 garlic cloves
2 cups cherry tomatoes
1 cup Thai basil
Cooked rice Cilantro, sesame seeds + lime
HOW TO MAKE IT 🥒 Smash cucumber and toss with its ingredients. 🥩 Brown beef in a hot pan, letting it sit undisturbed for 4–5 min first to get a good crust. Remove. 🌶️ Cook onion + peppers 3–4 min. Add garlic, then push veggies aside and blister tomatoes cut-side down for ~2 min. 🥢 Add beef back in with the sauce and toss until glossy. Remove from heat and fold in Thai basil. 🍚 Serve over rice with smashed cucumber, cilantro, sesame seeds + lime.
I used my Zwilling Milano pan—the sloped sides are perfect for tossing a stir fry, and the ceramic cooking surface is made without PFAS, PFOA, PTFE, lead or cadmium. Garden → pan → dinner. 🤌 Shop the Zwilling Milano at the link in my bio! #ZwillingBeyondTheBlade #ZwillingMilano #Zwilling1731 #growyourownfood

Pumpkin bread, but make it an actual pumpkin 🎃🍞
I partnered with @kingarthurbaking to make their Sourdough Ginger Pumpkin Bread with King Arthur Unbleached Bread Flour! Pumpkin, warm spices, and little bites of crystallized ginger—baked in the prettiest clay bread baker. Add a cinnamon stick stem and your bread doubles as the centerpiece 🤎
Save this for your fall baking!
INGREDIENTS
• 1 cup pumpkin purée
• ¾ cup sourdough starter
• 1 large egg
• 2 tsp instant yeast
• 2 tsp pumpkin pie spice
• ¼ cup sugar
• 1 tsp salt
• 3 tbsp melted butter
• 3 cups (360g) King Arthur Unbleached Bread Flour
• ¼ cup finely diced crystallized ginger
Also: vegetable oil, food-safe heatproof cotton string, a cinnamon stick, and egg wash (1 egg + 1 tbsp water).
METHOD
Combine dough ingredients in order; knead 6–8 minutes until smooth. Cover; rise 1–1½ hours until puffy.
Grease your baking bowl; line its base with parchment. Knot four 18-inch strings together at their centers, oil them, and arrange evenly in the bowl.
Deflate dough, shape into a ball, and place over strings. Gather ends above dough; secure with ¾-inch slack. Cover; rise another 1–1½ hours.
Brush with egg wash. Score ½-inch-deep vertical lines between strings.
Bake at 350°F for 50–55 minutes, tenting with foil after 35 minutes, until the center reaches 190°F.
Unmold onto a rack. Once cool enough, remove strings and add your cinnamon stem!
Fall’s Best Breads Start with King Arthur. 🍂
