The best way to cook it is to bake it when using fresh pumpkin. You cut the Pumpkin into quarters or halves depending on the size and scoop out the seeds. Fill the roasting pan with half a cup of water and add the pumpkin pieces. Bake or roast at 400 degrees for 30 minutes.(for pumpkin of medium size) be certain its really tender. Once it's cool enough to handle, extract the pulp with a spoon and put it in a blender or food processor to make sure all the stringy bits are gone. This will give you 2 cups of puree, season, and use it to make your favorite dishes.
