Don't normally cook from scratch, found really easy to make and the results were delicious, my partner and dad loved it which has inspired me to try different recipes. One thing to add if you are low on time would be best to prepare veg day before.
Easy and delicious. My wife said, "Please make it again!"
I didn't puree it: I just mashed the pumpkin in the pan, and it worked fine.
