Cooking With Fresh Pumpkin

I love fresh pumpkin! It's hard to use canned stuff once you've tried it fresh

Great article Angela, thanks for sharing. I remember years ago trying some fresh pumpkin that had been roasted, it was delicious.

This Halloween, I will be doing pumpkin carving and using some of the leftovers in a recipe for everyone to try

Just made yummy Pumpkin Mac & Cheese over the wknd :-)

Yum, Pumpkin Mac and Cheese. Will have to give that a try, sounds good

Two recipes I really like the sound of are for Bacon and Pumpkin Pasta and Pumpkin Ravioli

I've roasted sugar pumpkins with olive oil, salt, and pepper, then scooped out the flesh and added a little butter and herbs. It makes a nice veggie side dish.

Yes,I always make soup with fresh pumpkin, it is a little bit sweet and I like it very much.

I finally roasted a few pumpkins and made pie and also a pumpkin/lamb pasta sauce. They both turned out great and the taste was so much better than canned. Now that I know how easy it is to cook with pumpkins I will never go back to canned!
