Fall Scramble with Pumpkin, Zucchini, and Basil
We had the first big rain and thunderstorm here at my new home in Umbria, Italy yesterday and I felt so inspired to get in the kitchen and get a start on this years’ Fall recipes. My Fall Scramble with Pumpkin, Zucchini and Basil adds the most festive autumnal touch to otherwise simple scrambled eggs. The key for this scramble recipe is the proper order of the vegetables— make sure to follow the instructions in terms of adding them in as the pumpkin will take longer than the zucchini to cook and become tender. Other than that, it’s a simple and delicious way to enjoy your favorite fall ingredients. Enjoy Xx
