A simple savory pumpkin casserole recipe. It’s easy to prepare with canned puree and makes a wonderful side dish to holiday meals.
I wanted to get started early on some recipes for fall, so I made a quick savory pumpkin casserole recipe using canned pumpkin puree. One day, I’ll try to make my own pumpkin puree using a recipe like this one.
Since I really liked the pumpkin lasagna I made a few years ago, I decided to add in some ricotta and Parmesan cheese. Both of those types of cheese go very well with pumpkin.
To top things off, I chose herbs that compliment the pumpkin flavor. The ones I chose are rosemary, sage, and thyme.
I didn’t have any fresh herbs, so I sprinkled on some dry ones. And, I think I may have been a bit heavy handed so I adjusted the amount in the actual recipe.
The dish smelled wonderful when it was baking. Next time, I’m going to use some fresh herbs. In fact, I really need to learn how to grow them with an indoor herb garden.
Unfortunately, I’ve killed all the herb plants that I’ve attempted to grow in my house. Maybe I need to try an AeroGarden Herb Kit for indoors.
My husband actually takes care of all the houseplants so I’d have to have him keep an eye on the herb garden. He’s home a lot more than I am. If you start seeing more fresh herbs in my photos, you know we’ve been successful.
I’ll be saving this savory pumpkin casserole recipe to use over the holidays. It’s a good side dish for holiday meals, especially Thanksgiving turkey.
Do you have a favorite savory pumpkin recipe? Now that I’m less interested in sweets, I’m sure to be making more.
