Like so many other people, when the weather starts to cool down our cravings center around one, special ingredient: pumpkin. We buy all the pumpkin spice products we can get our hands on, bake a few latte-inspired treats, roast pumpkin seeds for snacking—and generally do our best to use this sweet and hearty gourd in as many recipes as possible. (We’ve even thought about growing pumpkins at home!) Not surprisingly, this seasonal ingredient is good for so much more than just pumpkin pie or pumpkin bread, although we’ll gladly bake either of those, too. Use it in soups, pasta dishes, cakes and more—there’s almost nothing pumpkin can’t do.
