So, I'm just back from walking the pup around the neighborhood. One of my neighbors has a surplus of pumpkins and put a pile of them out streetside for people to take free of charge. Couldn't pass up that bargain, so now I have a pumpkin and I'm wondering what to do with it. I'm not exactly sure what a "baking pumpkin" is, but I assume it's made for eating vs. carving. What should I do with this thing?

bake it!
I had a really good roasted pumpkin dish at a restaurant in Ottawa years ago... I can't remember the whole dish, but the roasted pumpkin was done in wedges and roasted long enough to carmelize on the edges, and I think had a miso based sauce? can't recall for sure.
I sometimes bake pumpkin whole (score the skin a bit so it doesn't split), then run it through a food mill for pumpkin puree... which can then be used for ravioli filling, or soup, or pie, etc.

Thanks. The lady who grew it says one of these pumpkins will yield enough filling for 10 pies! I like pie, but not that much. I think I'll bake and puree half of it for soup and pie and try some other things with the other half.

I sometimes bake pumpkin pie filling in a pie plate without a crust... basically it's pumpkin custard, right? you can also do that in ramekins for individual crustless pumpkin pies.
pumpkin puree also does nicely as a pasta sauce (with sage, garlic, and butter), or as a base for enchilada sauce

A sweet potato brownie recipe but my feed today. I’m sure you could substitute pumpkin in it

If you run a search you should come up with a thread or two with some good ideas.

I love pumpkin soup and would make it all into a huge batch and freeze it.
Calabaza or pumpkin is eaten daily here. Soup is common, but they also put it in rotis. You can also make a kind of stew with onions, peppers, tomatoes and spices. I'd google "Caribbean pumpkin recipes" or even Indian or African recipes.

there used to be a little place in a strip mall in a rough part of Toronto that sold the BEST pumpkin roti... I had completely forgotten about that until just now... and now I want pumpkin roti.
