Ingredients
  

  • 1 Sugar pumpkin

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 425°F. Cut the pumpkin in half with a sharp knife. If the pumpkin is too tough to cut, cut the top and bottom of the pumpkin off, then cut the pumpkin in half.
  • Using a spoon, scoop out the pumpkin guts and seeds. You can put this to the side in a strainer if you plan to harvest the seeds.
  • Place the cut side of the pumpkin down on a baking sheet. Cook for 45 min - 1 hr. depending on the size of the pumpkin. To check if the pumpkin is done, pierce the skin with a fork. If the fork meets little resistance, it is done.
  • Let the pumpkin cool to room temperature. Scoop out the flesh from the skin and place in a blender. Blend the flesh into a puree. Use immediately or refrigerate. Mangia!
