in the kitchen with: best of pumpkin dishes


I love pumpkin — all different types. But my favorite is a pumpkin with a compact flesh, which is very creamy. Over the past few years on In the Kitchen With, we’ve collected quite a few pumpkin and butternut squash recipes that are perfect as these vegetables start showing up in abundance at markets and stores. This week, I gathered the best of pumpkin (or squash) recipes. How will you use your pumpkins, and what are your favorite flavors to pair with them? For me, I look forward to making risotto with gorgonzola or taleggio, and I always make loaves upon loaves of pumpkin bread, and I can’t resist a quick soup made with roasted butternut squash and pureed with other roasted vegetables (recipes below). — Kristina

I AM IN LOVE WITH EVERY SINGLE THING HERE! I pinned seriously almost all of it for future food ref. The Spaetzle! Can’t wait to try the spaetzle!!!! Lovely post.

Some great ideas, thank you! I’ve got half a butternut squash to use up, which I was intending to make into soup, but am now highly tempted by the lasagne or pancakes, yum.

Nothing says Autumn, Thanksgiving and the holidays like pumpkin, squash and sweet potatoes. I call them the orange trio! They all look gorgeous in photography and even better on your lips! :) Thanks for this post… I can smell the pumpkin bread and butternut squash soup from here….. mmmmmm.. it’s officially the holidays…

the link for the butternut and orange cauliflower soup goes to the wrong recipe FYI

Hi Lauren, does it? Aran did two recipes, a tart and a soup, and the soup is the second recipe in the post. If you scroll down, you’ll see it. -K

yum yum yum, love the sound & look of all of these. not dissimilar from the salad above, my favourite butternut squash recipe is Nigella Lawson’s incredibly simple & incredibly delicious combination of chunks of roast butternut with crumbled blue cheese and a scattering of pecans – utterly gorgeous.

Thank you so much for including a gluten free pancake recipe! I love choosing on “special” meal a week to make on the weekends for my boyfriend and I and it’s always a shame when I can’t find anything gluten free!

And that acorn squash looks amazing. It might have to go on this week’s list!

I think I’m the only person on our block – no, in our neighborhood – who didn’t buy pumpkins for Halloween. My guess is that they’re going to be on sale in a big way from tomorrow…which means I’m giving some of these recipes such as the soup, the lasagne and the roasted squash with arugula a try. Nice, inspiring roundup of recipes!
