Directions:
Preheat oven to 375˚.
Pulverize graham crackers in food processor.
With processor running, pour melted butter into feed tube and process until mixed.
Pat crust mixture into pie pan. It will be very crumbly, and may not make it all the way up the sides of the pan; this is fine.
Put soymilk and cornstarch into food processor bowl and blend well.
Add pumpkin, sugar, and spices, and process until blended.
Pour this mixture into the pie crust.
Bake 45-60 minutes, or until set.
Oven Pumpkin Risotto
Ingredients:
5 cups reduced-fat vegetable broth

1 tablespoon grated lemon peel
1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg + extra for topping

Directions:
Preheat oven to 400˚.
In a shallow 3-4 quart casserole dish, combine broth, rice, pumpkin, lemon peel, and ground nutmeg.

Stir again, then continue to bake, stirring often, until rice is tender to bite and mixture is creamy; this will take about 25 more minutes.
Stir in shredded cheese.
To serve, transfer to a serving dish; garnish with Parmesan cheese curls (made by "peeling" a block of Parmesan cheese with a vegetable peeler) and sprinkle lightly with ground nutmeg.
