Preheat oven to 200°C. Line 2 large baking trays with baking paper. Place pumpkin on 1 tray and drizzle with 1 tablespoon of the olive oil. Bake for 30 minutes, or until golden and tender.
Meanwhile, in a bowl combine ricotta, thyme, egg white and half of the parmesan. Finely chop mushroom stems and fold them through ricotta mixture. Season with cracked black pepper.
Fill mushroom caps with ricotta mixture. Transfer to second prepared tray. Scatter over remaining parmesan. Bake for the last 20-25 minutes of pumpkin cooking time.
Meanwhile, in a small non-stick frying pan heat remaining 2 teaspoons of oil over medium-high. Cook rosemary, pine nuts and chilli, stirring, until golden.
Transfer roasted pumpkin to a bowl and mash roughly with a fork. Season with pepper and scatter with rosemary mixture.
Boil, steam or microwave broccolini until tender. Drain. Serve stuffed mushrooms with smashed pumpkin and cooked broccolini, and garnish with basil.
