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.

Very easy to make. It's cooking now. But directions forgot to tell you when to add milk. It should be after you have add flour. Smells delicious I did sneak a tortellini before I put it in oven. Tasted great!
