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.

What a strange recipe. This recipe calls for fresh basil, and then doesn't say what to do with it. Basil likes warmth, so mine is pretty sad come late autumn if it's alive at all.
