Step 2

Place pumpkin pieces with skin on, but without seeds, in a baking tray, add 2 tablespoons of water, and cover with foil.

Step 3

In a conventional oven, cover with foil and place in the oven with beans on top instead of filling for blind baking the pastry, leave for 15 minutes at 392°F (356°F in a fan oven), in a gas oven — bake at mark 6. Then remove the foil and beans and add the filling. Reduce the temperature in a conventional oven to 356°F, fan oven to 320°F, gas to mark 4, and cook for another 25 minutes until ready.
