    A stuffed pumpkin recipe that is full of cheese, spinach and walnuts.  A great starter to share or a main between two people.

    You could vary the ingredients and spices in this dish to suit yourself, but if I say so myself, this makes an amazing vegetarian dish that is perfect for Thanksgiving or Christmas. Or just during pumpkin season. It is a lovely centre piece….you could bake a large one to share or smaller individual ones. The Chief Taster enjoyed it, despite his misgivings about pumpkin dishes, and is now "sleeping it off". That's a good sign in this house.

    Pumpkin Stuffed with Everything Good

    I used cheese, garlic, spinach and walnuts to stuff the pumpkin and it was delicious. You could throw in meat and other veggies if you wanted..use the cheese as a base and add to it. For a vegan version, I would suggest using a vegan cream as a base (cashew nut cream) and add veggies away! I just loved this…and will be playing around with this again! I used small pumpkins so we could have one each. A large one (the size of pumpkins that you would carve for Halloween) would be great for about 4 of you, but try to get small individual ones..it's cuter. When you eat it, use a spoon to dig into the cooked pumpkin on the inside and mix it up with the cheesey, garlickly filling…just delicious!

      Hello, where do the spring onions go? I don’t see them in the instructions, I assumed they’re a topping before serving? Thank you

      Hey there! This looks amazing! Do you think instead of baking them, you could out them in a slow cooker and let them sit in there for a couple hours on low?
