Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
- Cut the lid off the pumpkin and scoop out the seeds and fibers. Scrape away some of the flesh, especially around the top, to form a large, smooth inner cavity. Make sure to leave the shell at least 1-inch thick all around. Oil the pumpkin inside and out and season inside with salt and pepper. Replace the lid. Place on a baking sheet and bake until about 2/3's cooked but still firm enough to stand and act as the soup container, about 40 minutes. Do not over-bake. If a good deal of liquid gathers in the bottom, spoon out and discard. Set aside; it will stay warm on its own a good while.
- Bring the stock to a low simmer in a saucepan. Heat the remaining 2 tablespoons olive oil in a large saute pan over medium-high heat until hot. Add the onion and cook until soft but not brown, 2 to 3 minutes. Add the thyme, stir, and add 2 cups of the stock. Bring to a boil. Add the pastina, stir well, and reduce the heat to maintain a slow simmer. Season with salt and pepper. Simmer, adding the stock 1/2 cup at a time as the previous addition is absorbed and stirring occasionally to prevent the pastina from sticking to the bottom of the pan, until the pasta is al dente, about 15 minutes. Add the roasted squash and turkey to reheat. Stir well. The consistency should be quite loose, like a thick soup. Add more stock, if necessary. Add the 1/2 cup cheese and let melt for a moment before stirring in. Taste, for seasoning.
- Ladle the pastina into the reserved pumpkin shell and garnish with the remaining 2 tablespoons Parmesan. Replace the lid and take to the table immediately.
- Variation with Greens: For a colorful and nutritious addition, cut several handfuls of winter greens such as spinach or chard into a chiffonade and stir into the pastina just to wilt before serving.

ROASTED BUTTERNUT SQUASH SALAD WITH CARAMELIZED PUMPKIN SEEDS
We had left over roasted butternut squash one night, so I threw it on a salad and topped it with cheese. My family loved it! Since then we added caramelized pumpkin seeds (my brother's idea) and a homemade dressing. -Nicole Sadowsky, Rancho Santa Fe, California

Tips:
- Choose a butternut squash that is firm and has a deep orange color. This will ensure that it is ripe and flavorful.
- To easily peel the butternut squash, use a vegetable peeler or a sharp knife. Start by cutting off the stem and the bottom of the squash. Then, use the peeler or knife to remove the skin in long, even strokes.
- If you are using a food processor to make the pastina, be sure to use the pulse setting. This will help to prevent the pastina from becoming too mushy.
- When roasting the butternut squash, be sure to toss it with olive oil and season it with salt and pepper. This will help to enhance the flavor of the squash.
- To make the pumpkin bowls, you can use either fresh or canned pumpkin puree. If you are using fresh pumpkin puree, be sure to cook it until it is soft and smooth.
- To serve the roasted butternut squash pastina, simply spoon it into the pumpkin bowls and top it with grated Parmesan cheese. You can also add a dollop of sour cream or yogurt for extra richness.
