Baked pumpkin platter

This is a lovely easy lunch.

Ingredients

  • Pumpkin
  • Olive oil
  • ½ butternut pumpkin
  • 1 1/2 tsp brown sugar
  • chilli flakes
  • Paul Newman’s Own Ranch Dressing
  •  
  • Baked ricotta
  • 1kg fresh ricotta
  • 5 eggs
  • 1 cup grated parmesan cheese

Method

1
Slice up half a butternut pumpkin into wedges and arrange on a roasting tray.
2
Toss with olive oil, brown sugar and chilli flakes to taste. Season then place in a moderate oven to roast until soft and caramelised around the edges (around 30 minutes).
3
Whisk together ricotta, eggs and freshly grated parmesan cheese until smooth. Transfer mixture to a greased baking dish and place in the oven for the pumpkin's final 20 minutes or until firm around the edges but slightly wobbly in the middle.
4
Serve the pumpkin on a platter lined with mixed salad leaves then break up some of the baked ricotta, sprinkle over the pumpkin and dress with Paul Newman's Own Ranch dressing to finish. This is a lovely easy lunch, especially when served with sourdough bread and perhaps even a plate of proscuitto and olives.
