Savory Baked Pumpkin with Garlic and Basil

I was telling you that this year we have a lot of pumpkins from our home garden, after we got tired of the pumpkin galette we came across this recipe by chance. To be honest, I was skeptical throughout the cooking process (and I had nothing to lose, because pumpkins spoil if I don't cook them), but the result was amazing. The husband asked for the second portion, he also admitted that he did not expect such a good taste.

We served it with cheese and sour cream, without meat and other vegetables, we had a very full and special dinner.

To taste I would say that there is something between baked carrots and potatoes, really worth a try.
