Canned pumpkin is perfect for the pumpkin puree in the recipe. I recommend the organic brand and stay away from Libby's. As for the roasted pumpkin cubes; they make the dish. If you substitute puree for the cubes, unfortunately the dish will lose texture and flavor.
Can I substitute canned pumpkin puree for the roasted pumpkin?
