Creamy pumpkin, thyme and feta bake: a cure for winter blues

Updated at: Wed, 16 Aug 2023 20:32:34 GMT

Step 1

1. Preheat the oven to 180oC. Spray a medium baking dish with non stick spray.

Step 2

2. Cut the pumpkin in half and scoop out the seeds. Cut into slices (like a melon) and arrange on a microwavable dish. Cover and microwave on high for around 5 minutes. This will soften the pumpkin flesh and make it really easy to slice off the skin. Remove the pumpkin skin and cut the flesh into chunks about 2 cm by 2 cm (or smaller if you like - the smaller the faster they will cook so you may need to adjust the cooking time) and place straight into the baking dish.

Step 3

3. Mix the packet of soup with the wine to loosen then mix into the cream. Stir in the minced garlic. Pour over the pumpkin.

Step 4

4. Sprinkle the feta on top. Strip the leaves off the thyme and sprinkle over the whole dish. Season with lots of black pepper and a pinch of salt (remember the feta is quite salty). Bake for around 40 minutes until the pumpkin is soft.

Step 5

5. Serve piping hot over penne pasta, or any other kind of pasta with a side salad and vino.
