Notes

Roasted Pumpkin: Start by halving 2 sugar pumpkins longways (stem to bottom) and scooping out the seeds and string innards. Brush the pumpkin flesh with olive oil, then season with salt and pepper. Roast cut side down on a foil covered baking sheet for 35-45 minutes at 400 degrees, or until very soft. Scoop out the flesh and squeeze in a paper towel or linen cloth to remove any excess liquid.
