Whilst many of us will be heading to a Halloween party or out trick or treating, some of us, myself included, will be staying home! And that means that everything must be themed around the event at all costs. Including dinner! 

Using hardly any ingredients at all, these pumpkins are absolutely incredible to eat, whilst being a real delight to make too. Honestly, they take carving pumpkins to a whole new level. 

Get ready to dig out and dig in with these macaroni cheese filled wonders…

Four Small Pumpkins

One Tablespoon of Olive Oil

Salt and Pepper, To Season

30g of Plain Flour, To Thicken

Tools

Two Baking Trays

1. Start by preheating your oven to 190°c before prepping two baking trays by lining them with greaseproof paper. 
2. Taking a knife, cut the tops of the pumpkins, remove the seeds with a spoon and place onto the trays. 
3. Using a pastry brush, rub the olive oil inside before sprinkling with the salt and pepper.
4. Place into the oven and cook for 25 to 30 minutes until soft but still holding shape.

6. In another saucepan, heat the milk until warm but don’t let it boil. Then add in the cheese until smooth and melted. 
7. Add in the pasta and add in more salt and pepper to season. 
8. When everything is ready, spoon the macaroni cheese into the pumpkins. 
9. Place the pumpkin tops back on top and bake in the oven for 10 minutes.
