NOMS | Almond & Pecan Crusted Chicken overtop Pumpkin Ravioli

Ohhhkay, I caved.
Pumpkin Spice Bandwagon -Let me make you awesome.

Pumpkin spice and ugg boots is not what makes fall special to me.  I don't particularly love the overload of commercialized fake pumpkin everything. I love the smell of the first crisp breezy day, I love riding around with the windows down and the sun shining through the changing leaves, I love a good hot toddy, structured coats, sultry perfumes, fireplaces, Halloween and Thanksgiving! Those are my favorite fall things.  But don't get it twisted. I still love pumpkin pie, pumpkin beer, pumpkin raviolis, and yes even a good pumpkin latte sometimes.  Though pumpkin spice is not my everything. 

I don't always love pumpkin everything, but when I do - it's freakin' awesome. When I walked into La Parmigiana out here in Southampton, and then spotted these gems -I knew in that moment what I'd be cooking.  La Parm has been a Hampton's staple since the 70's, known for their family owned and cooked Italian food. They also have a classic Italian bakery and deli attached. I spotted their specialty raviolis and knew it was going to be great! So I created this amazing fall comfort dish. I hope you enjoy it!
