1 Lasagne Divide the pumpkin halves, skin side up, between two large oven trays. Drizzle half the oil over. Season with salt and pepper then cover with foil and bake for 2 hours or until tender. Set aside to cool.

2 Remove the seeds, then peel away the skin. Working in batches, put the pumpkin in a large sieve over a bowl to drain excess liquid, which you reserve. Transfer the pumpkin to a bowl and mash with a potato masher.
