Baked pumpkin curry and sesame
Fall is one of my favorite seasons because it brings us some of my favorite ingredients. Today's star is just that, baked seeded squash. Soft, savory and flavorful, it is among my most favorite cucurbitaceae. If you're in the mood for cozy, fall-flavored meals, I recommend you also try my vegan ricotta-filled mushrooms or my pumpkin and vegetable ricotta ravioli Where the pumpkin is baked whole.
