For a richer flavor, try roasting the pumpkin with a drizzle of olive oil and a sprinkle of cinnamon and nutmeg. The resulting pumpkin puree can be stored in the refrigerator for up to a week, or frozen for several months. Don't discard the pumpkin seeds! Rinse them, toss with olive oil and salt, and roast them for a delicious snack.
