Servings: persons

1 lb (500 g) orange pumpkin (weighed when skin, seeds, and stringy bits have been removed)
2 oz (50 g) butter
3 tablespoons flour
1 cup (250 ml) milk, warmed
1/2 teaspoon salt or to taste
White pepper
⅔ teaspoons sugar
3 eggs, lightly beaten
Butter for the pan
Flour for the pan

1
Peel the pumpkin, remove seeds and stringy bits, and cut it in pieces.
2
Put these in a pan with a tight-fitting lid with about 1/2 cup (125 ml) of water, and steam for 2030 minutes, until soft.
3
Then, if any water remains, cook with the lid off until the liquid disappears.
4
Make a stiff bechamel sauce: melt the butter in a pan, add the flour, and stir vigorously for a few minutes, then add the milk gradually, stirring all the time to avoid lumps, and simmer for about 8 minutes.
5
Mash the pumpkin to a puree with a fork.
6
Add the rest of the ingredients (except the butter and flour for the pan) and beat.
7
(You may blend everything together to a cream in a blender or food processor.)
8
Taste to adjust the flavoring.
9
This is all-important with pumpkins.
10
They grow particularly sweet in the Veneto, and that is why you will probably need to add sugar to approximate the taste.
11
Pour into a greased and floured, preferably nonstick, baking dish or mold (a ring mold or a round bomba will do very well) and bake at 350F (180C) for about 45 minutes.
12
Turn out and serve hot.
