Method (preview)

1. 1

   Preheat the oven to 350F.

2. 2

   Cut the top off the pumpkin with a large, sharp knife, then scoop out and discard all of the seeds. (Unless you want to toast them for snacks, later!) Using a small, sharp knife and a sturdy tablespoon, scoop out as much of the pumpkin flesh as possible, and then chop it into chunks.

3. 3

   Bake the pumpkin in the oven with its lid on for 45 minutes to one hour, until the inside begins to soften.

4. 4

   While the pumpkin is baking, make the filling.

5. 5

   Gently fry the onion, ginger and pumpkin flesh in the olive oil, for about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.

6. 6

   Add the zucchini and mushrooms and cook for another 3 minutes.

7. 7

   Stir in the tomatoes, pasta shells and stock.

8. 8

   Season well, bring to a boil, cover and simmer gently for about 10 minutes.

9. 9

   Stir the ricotta cheese and basil into the pasta and spoon the mixture into the pumpkin.

10. 10

    If so, serve the rest separately.
