1 lb. sugar pumpkin
4 tbsp. coconut oil, warmed
2 1/2 cups packed baby spinach
4 garlic cloves, chopped
1/4 cup fresh dill
1/4 cup fresh oregano
1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil1/2 cup feta cheese (sheep or goat only)

Preheat oven to 400ºF.  Cut off top of pumpkin and scoop out seeds.  (Rinse and reserve to roast with Celtic salt as a snack for later).  Using a heavy stainless steel knife, halve pumpkin and cut into wedges.  Rub oil on each wedge, and season with Celtic salt and pepper.  Place on a parchment-lined baking sheet and bake for 40 minutes.

Mix in a blender or food processor garlic, spinach, herbs, and 1/4 cup olive oil.  Add pepper,
cheeses and pignoli and pulse to desired consistency.  Spoon over pumpkin wedges.  Garnish with toasted pignoli.
