tips:

The Hokkaido pumpkin is best suited for this recipe, possibly a Musky pumpkin. The first one is dense, compact and floury, thanks to which the paste has the right density. Using a regular giant pumpkin, you will receive a cream soup.
The pumpkin Hokkaido is well-baked in the skin and blends together with the skin, which after baking is soft and tasty.
Just split the pumpkin into quarters, cut into cubes can be too dry and not sufficiently aromatic.
Instead of balsamic vinegar, you can add lemon juice.
