This dish was wonderful! The reason I gave it only 4 stars was because, I used some instant rice and some regular rice and the regular rice DID NOT cook. You must either use instant rice or precook your rice otherwise it wont be done. I cooked it for the full 3 hours. Also I used a carving pumpkin because all the pie pumpkins we very small and this makes ALOT! You should also use a very deep pan to cook this in bacause the pumpkin gets very soft and there is alot of juice. One sugesstion was to use 1 cup crushed tomato and 3 cups tomato sauce instead of the juice, which I did and I think it turned out better that it would have with the juice.I have to say though it is VERY YUMMY I will make it again!!!

This was sooo good! My Husband and I LOVED it! We cooked it in the oven because it was raining out, but it still turned out great!

This was very yummy, I also did not use quite as much on the herbs and salt, only about half that and it was more than enough. Also the asparagus does not need to cook quite that long. I had very thin asparagus and they were a little over cooked. I will definately make this again!
