Thanks for your input which supports a point I was trying to make - that many sweet squashes will work for a pie. And Audrey, I'll have to try Macrina's pie dough. Alice & Macrina are pretty good partners in the kitchen! Betsy, the blue ballet squash – where do people come up with these names?

We love the Macrina bakery pie crust. It is just so wonderfully flaky. Your recipe sure makes it sound pretty simple to make the pumpkin filling. We love the Macrina bakery pie crust.

The pumpkin filling looks so bright and fresh! I have started using fresh pumpkin this year for baking and have been surprised by how easy it is to roast a pumpkin. I have been able to omit the blending part after roasting because the texture tends to be pretty darn uniform straight out of the pumpkin (close enough for me). I have also played around with with using blue ballet squash in place of pumpkin and loved the results! The color, texture and flavor are slightly different- got great reviews from my husband.
