Come Halloween on the 31 of October, and we’ve probably gone through two, if not three, pumpkins already. Whether that’s after impulsively picking one up from our local supermarket, or making an occasion out of going pumpkin picking, filling our homes with pumpkins during Halloween is pretty much a given. But what happens after we’ve carved little faces into them? For some, it might mean throwing them in the food waste, but for us (and most other foodies) there isn’t an ounce of pumpkin going to waste! From Pumpkin Soup, to Roasted Pumpkin Seeds and Pumpkin Ravioli, here’s eight ways to use up that vibrant, golden squash.

Pumpkin Soup – Best Leftover Pumpkin Recipes

Pumpkin soup in the autumn is something that never gets old. It’s healthy, super creamy, and keeps you cosy. Some squashes will take longer than others to cook, so be sure to keep the simmer going until the squash is completely softened and fork-tender for the creamiest soup texture.

Pumpkin Ravioli – Best Leftover Pumpkin Recipes

These autumnal ravioli may not be quick or easy, but they are SO delicious. Give yourself an afternoon to prepare them, or make the pasta dough the night before so you have half the work done already!

Pumpkin Puree – Best Leftover Pumpkin Recipes

Pumpkin pie is a staple. Sure, the stuff from the can is good, but if you truly want to make the pie from scratch, you gotta start with a whole pumpkin! Sugar pumpkins are the classic, but sweet kabocha squash is a good substitute, and will roast more quickly.

Roasted Pumpkin Seeds – Best Leftover Pumpkin Recipes

Pumpkins are pretty amazing. You can carve them, roast them, serve them savoury or sweet. One of their best (and often overlooked) attributes is their seeds! They’re super easy to prepare and make a seriously delicious snack.

Pumpkin Gnocchi – Best Leftover Pumpkin Recipes

Homemade gnocchi is so fun to make, and this squash one is super satisfying, and is perfect for a dinner party when you want to spend a little longer to impress your friends.
