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.

It's OK, although my wife like it very much. I also added some cornstarch at the end. Wouldn't make again.

This was so delicious and my husband absolutely loved it. The only improvement I made was to stir in some cornflour half an hour before serving, to thicken the sauce.
