Nutritional values

Pumpkin is an excellent source of a variety of nutrients, including vitamin A, which supports healthy vision, and energizing fiber to keep you full for a long time. The walnuts and blue cheese both provide healthy fats and protein, making this dish extremely well rounded and filling. 

For a vegan alternative, leave out the cheese. You can add vegan cheese if you like it. You could also use butternut squash for this recipe.
