The brightly colored pasta product naturally gets its brilliant hue from annatto and turmeric and boasts a design that is described as "radiant red-orange on one side with a more muted tone on the flip—like the outside and inside of an actual pumpkin." The outer durum wheat flour casing protects a filling that includes a rich blend of real pumpkin, honey, sugar and molasses, plus [ricotta and mozzarella cheeses](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cassata-baked-ricotta-cheese). To top it all off, the filling also includes some traditional autumn spices like cinnamon and nutmeg, which are known for having flavors that are warming, sweet and comforting. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 0.6/10 - Popularity: 7% | Activity: 2% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Lifestyle](https://www.trendhunter.com/lifestyle) > [Food](https://www.trendhunter.com/food) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Pumpkin-flavored Products:** Opportunity to develop new products with unique pumpkin flavor profiles using different spices, herbs and even fruits. - **Naturally Colored Food Products:** Innovation opportunity to create naturally colorful food products such as pasta using ingredients like annatto and turmeric. - **Fall-inspired Comfort Food:** Innovation opportunity to develop rich, savory or sweet dish concepts using traditional autumn spices like cinnamon and nutmeg. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Food Manufacturing:** A chance for food manufacturers to create unique seasonal products using innovative flavor combinations and natural colorants. - **Grocery Retail:** Opportunity for grocery retailers to capitalize on seasonal trends by stocking up on popular autumn-themed products such as pumpkin-flavored items. - **Restaurant:** Innovation opportunity for restaurants to incorporate seasonal ingredients and autumn flavors to create warm, comforting dishes. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Hybrid Ricotta-Filled Pastas](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/spinach-ricotta-raviolini.md) - [Fresh Four-Cheese Raviolis](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/4-cheese-ravioli.md) - [Burrata-Filled Ravioli Pastas](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/italian-tomato-burrata-ravioloni.md) - [Vegan Ravioli Pastas](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/vegan-spinach-cashew-ravioli.md) - [Private Label Pumpkin Cookies](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sugar-cookie-dough-pumpkins.md) - [Seasonal Pumpkin Sandwich Cookies](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pumpkin-spiced-joejoes.md) - [Brussels Sprouts-Stuffed Raviolis](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/brussels-sprouts-uncured-bacon-ravioli.md) - [Cauliflower-Based Ravioli Pastas](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/gluten-free-cheese-ravioli.md) - [Pumpkin Cheesecake-Filled Croissants](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pumpkin-cheesecake-croissants.md)
