Spiral pasta with roasted pumpkin and plum tomatoes

Tuesday, October 13th, 2009

Pumpkins aren’t just an icon of Halloween. They also are a sign of healthy eats.

Like carrots, pumpkins are loaded with the antioxidant beta-carotene, potassium and fiber. Plus, with only 49 calories per cup (cooked), this tasty squash is a great fit for a healthy diet.

Fresh pumpkins can be peeled, seeded and diced, then used just as you would other winter squashes, such as butternut and acorn.

Sugar pumpkins can be cooked and pureed for a mashed-type side, or processed further to become the base of a velvety, low-fat soup.

When selecting cooking pumpkins, look for those that still have a full, long stem attached, which usually indicates the flesh will be fresh and store well without deteriorating quickly.
