With Halloween approaching here's a nice idea of what to do with some of those pumpkin seeds you have lying around from all the Jack O'Lanterns your kids have made!

I finally made this recipe last night. See Bemontgomery's Pumpkin Ravioli recipe for my notes on the ravioli themselves.

This sauce was absolutely scrumptious! However, I can only in good conscience rank it 4 Forks because as yummy as it is, it is in no way worth the trouble it took to hull the pumpkin seeds that came out of my jack-o-lanterns (which were the whole reason I wanted to make this in the first place). I would make this sauce again, but only if I could buy pre-hulled seeds. The sauce also is very thick and sticky - more like a thick cheesy paste than a sauce you can drip on things (see how it is in a sort of lump in the middle in my photo above). But the cinnamon flavor was unparalleled in combination with the squash ravioli. Really, really good!


I have hulled pumpkin seeds that I found in a health food store. Why shell your own? This recipe sounds delicious and I can't wait to try it! Thank you so much for sharing this recipe!


Yep- this is for me as well- sounds fantastic...
