Since I was able to cook the kabocha squash easily using a Lekue silicone steamer, I made it into a pie.

Refer to the instructions on the packaging of the puff pastry for the time required to softened the pastry and the baking time.
If the pies brown unevenly while cooking, rotate the cookie sheet. Recipe by Hokkori-no
