The tart looks like a giant orange rose pie prior to cooking in the pie in the oven!

I found that when I tried slicing the pumpkin by hand the slices were irregular in thickness and much too thick. So I used a food processor instead.

The use of puff pastry in this recipe gives the pie a real homely feeling.

I love using crispy puff pastry for my tart and pie recipes. I really feel that tarts, pies and rolls taste better when they have a sheet of puff pastry wrapped around then.

All those delicious layers of flaky pastry around the pumpkin pie. Yum, you can’t go wrong.

I decided to make this dish because I had been noticing spiralled vegetable tarts popping up on Pinterest. The only problem was, I didn’t feel they would have the intense flavour I like in my meals.

I then added a strong, creamy cheese. I thought about adding basil because I love pumpkin and basil, but hubby likes rosemary.

We have Rosemary growing wild in our garden so it was an obvious choice. I am really happy with the rosemary favour. I think it suits that comfort food feel of a pumpkin pie.
