Pumpkin Bolognese, featuring Infinite Harvest Microgreens

Pumpkin is a delicious and nutritional powerhouse menu item for fall and winter. Serendipity Catering, who prefer to use vegetarian over meat dishes, make their bolognese with pumpkin to create heartiness and richness in this pasta dish.

Chef Austin Cueto has created a delicious Pumpkin Bolognese with Fresh Sage and Pecan Gremolata.
