This Italian cheese is so versatile that it can be used in both sweet and savory recipes from cheesecakes to lasagnas.
Pumpkins aren't just for pies or Halloween decorations. These large, orange gourds - while naturally sweet - also work well in savory dishes. They pair well with poultry and pork (and especially bacon) and their creamy-when-cooked texture blends easily into soups.

This tastes alot like pumpkin pie, which is great because pumpkins are only available around Halloween where I live. I baked the sweet potatoes to cook them, then peeled off the skin which made peeling and mashing easier. The sugar is just the right amount, I tried adding less but it wasn't sweet enough so I added enough to equal the half a cup. I added a bit more cinnamon than nutmeg, the spices were not overpowering at all which is a surprise because I'm always too afraid to use a whole teaspoon of nutmeg but I used nearly a teaspoon and it was fine. The orange juice is also a good idea. It's the first time I made a proper sweet potato pie will use this recipe again.

This recipe is OK. The cinnamon and nutmeg overwhelm the taste of the sweet potato. May want to cut back on the amounts if you want the sweet potato flavor to come through. This is based on using fresh sweet potatoes not canned. Otherwise, fairly simple to make.
