Method

Heat oven to 400 degrees. Cut each squash in half, remove seeds and fibers. Stir together remaining ingredients. Spoon 1/4 of the crumb mixture into each squash half. Arrange squash halves in ungreased rectangular baking dish, 11 X 7 X 11/2 inches. Pour water (1/4 inch) into baking dish. Cover and bake until squash is tender, 35 to 40 minutes.

 

Notes: I microwave this recipe. First pierce whole squash with a sharp knife, in several places. Cook on high 6-8 minutes per pound. Let stand for 5 minutes. Cut in half, remove seeds. Fill with crumb mixture and microwave until hot.

 

Number of Servings: 4
