It's quite possible that they did.  The problem, as I commented in my 
reply to Cariadoc, is that all different kinds of gourds are lumped 
together under the heading of calabaza.

A reference to a resource won't be useful, I'm afraid, if you don't read 
Spanish.  Can you give me an idea what kind of recipe you'd like?  
Sweet?  Savory?  Vegetarian?  Carnivorous?  There are several to 
choose from, but none are currently translated into English.  (Except for 
the ones in De Nola [1529], which are clearly not pumpkins, since the 
cooking directions say to scrape them until they are white)
