Gluten-Free Pumpkin Dumplings With Radicchio

Silvana Nardone, the founding editor of the food magazine Every Day With Rachael Ray, developed this recipe for her gluten-intolerant son. It's incredibly easy. Just mix together a can of pumpkin purée, a couple eggs and a cup of gluten-free flour blend. Plop spoonfuls into a pot of boiling water, and in minutes – dumplings. Toss those with a quick sauté of onion, red pepper flakes and radicchio for a filling, healthy dinner. The dumplings are super light and pillowy, but if you prefer a firmer texture, add more gluten-free flour, 1 tablespoon at a time, to the pasta dough.

Indian Pumpkin Pudding

Indian pudding is an old-fashioned American dessert made with cornmeal, milk and molasses. I added pumpkin to the mix and came up with a deeply satisfying pudding, like pumpkin pie without the crust. I enjoy it warm or cold (I’ve been eating the remains of my recipe test with yogurt for breakfast).

Greek Pumpkin and Leek Pie

This savory Greek pie, one of my favorites, makes a great vegetarian main dish for Thanksgiving. You can make the filling days before you assemble the pie; you can also make the whole pie ahead, wrap it well and freeze it. Like all winter squash, pumpkin is an excellent source of vitamin A, in the form of beta carotene, and a very good source of vitamin C, potassium, dietary fiber and manganese.

Vietnamese Grilled Duck Salad With Cucumber, Radishes and Peanuts

This zesty, cool and satisfying dish is worth making on any steamy summer night. The duck (you could use flank steak in a pinch, or for value) is marinated in a Vietnamese-inspired combination of soy sauce, lime, ginger, garlic, rice wine vinegar and fish sauce. The meat is grilled over indirect heat, and the result is meat beautifully infused with the flavors of the marinade. A crunchy slaw of cucumbers, radishes and carrots strewn with herbs and roasted peanuts finishes off the dish.

Pumpkin Gelato

This is like an ice cream version of pumpkin pie, but lighter. No eggs are required, and you can use low-fat milk. The important thing to remember here is that if you use fresh pumpkin for the purée, it must be roasted until very soft in order for the purée to be extremely fine.

Shaved Butternut Squash With Dates

Shaved slivers of raw butternut squash make for a surprisingly refreshing and crisp salad. Here, it is served with a dressing of tangy buttermilk, sweet dates and crunchy pumpkinseeds. Look for a small, fresh butternut squash, preferably one with a long neck, which makes it easy to shave.
