Pumpkins aren't just for carving, although when hollowed out, they make fantastic decorative "dishes," like for this pumpkin risotto. Otherwise, you'll need to scoop out the seeds and flesh, which can then both be used in countless tasty recipes. Try roasting the fiber-filled pumpkin seeds and using them to garnish soups, desserts, homemade breads and salads. The flesh can be pureed into soups, grated into cakes, diced and roasted for pasta recipes or baked into pies. The options are endless.
