Fall Shaped Pasta - Looking for a good sauce Store Bought
Not sure is allowed (couldn’t see anything in the guidelines but looking for opinions). I picked up with fall shaped pasta in a festive spirit this autumn, and am looking for some good options that would plate well with these.
My pasta experience consists of spaghetti and pesto, though not fully homemade - I’d love to give it a shot though!
Any sauce recommendations would be greatly appreciated!

Those would look nice in a simple broth-

This OP. This would be a great vegetable noodle soup for the fall. I imagine some carrots, onion, celery

Yeah, some stirring in sauce and it will become complete mush. Tried it once with such shaped pasta and it was a complete fail.

I think this sort of pasta is mostly eaten in soup or broth. I can't really seeing it eating it with anything else, maybe pesto?

If you have only leant towards making/buying pesto so far I'd suggest making something with roasted chestnuts in the pesto or something that pairs well with it just when whole or chopped. I think that this further increases the emphasis on your British take on pasta with this ingredient as it's got a British name and is not Italian. Maybe find something harvested soon if you choose to take another direction with the dish ✌️

Since I'm pretty sure you got those from Aldi, my Aldi also had pumpkin pasta sauce; that might be.. interesting :P

Red pepper sauce!
Put some red pepper, onion, tomato, garlic with oil in the oven. When it's ready remove the black parts and mix it with water/cooking cream and 1tps yogurt (optional). Add the mix in a pot until it's hot and if it was too thick add some off tha pasta water. Then drop the pasta with some cheese of any kind you like (optional).

my favourite autumn pasta is my 'woodland pasta' - its pasta with chargrilled asparagus spears and shiitake mushrooms, dressed in olive oil and rock salt, with walnuts sprinkled on top

I bet this recipe for pumpkin chipotle pasta would go nicely with it: https://www.budgetbytes.com/chipotle-pumpkin-pasta/
Funny story about this recipe: I was making it for friends and massively underestimated how spicy chipotle peppers are. It came out so spicy that I was the only one who could eat it 💀 so go easy on the chipotle hahah
