  1. Preheat the oven to 190°C/170°C fan/gas mark 5.
  2. Cut the pumpkin or squash tops off about a quarter of the way down. Use a spoon to hollow out the centres, discarding the seeds.
  3. Rub the pumpkins all over with olive oil and season the insides generously with salt and black pepper. Place in a roasting tin large enough for the four of them. Roast for 40-50 minutes, or until soft.
  4. Heat the olive oil in a large pan over a medium heat. Cook the onions for 2-3 minutes, then add the garlic, chopped rosemary and thyme and cook for 4-5 minutes longer.
  5. Add the chestnuts and walnuts and cook for 2-3 minutes. Stir in the fresh breadcrumbs, the pine nuts and lots of freshly chopped parsley. Season well with salt and pepper. (If the mix seems a little dry, drizzle in a little extra olive oil.)
  6. Divide this mixture amongst the roasted pumpkins and return to the oven for 10 minutes to warm through.
