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.

There's something about baked ziti with ricotta cheese that just hits the spot. The combination of creamy ricotta, hearty pasta, and zesty pasta sauce is hard to beat.

I've been making a lot of Italian-style recipes lately just out of habit. But I'm glad that I picked this recipe. The Ricotta, eggs, and Parmesan provided a distinct filling layer and change of pace in flavors over the usual pasta and sauce combinations.

I've made this as written and with ground turkey in it. Both ways are great!
