In recent weeks, Barcelona has welcomed the autumn. Temperatures have gone down, the sky has clouded over, pants have become long, sandals have been changed for boots, and the first pumpkins have arrived in stores.
Personally I love pumpkins, all types, so I decided to propose a recipe that has the main protagonist of this vegetable. It is an easy to prepare recipe and really tasty. It is also a very convenient dish, since you can leave it prepared before and pass it through the oven just before serving it. I hope you like it 😉
