More About This Recipe

  • There are many varieties of squash. Acorn squashes are shaped like their namesake the acorn, can be green or orange and when cut in half make the perfect vehicle for tasty fillings. The spaghetti squash is oval in shape, mild in flavor and when cooked its stringy insides mimic noodles. Lastly, the butternut squash in this recipe is a bell-shaped, winter squash that grows on a vine. It has a creamy but very dense center so make sure to cut the squash into even, bite-size, cubes to ensure it cooks through and you are not left with undercooked chunks of squash.
