Ingredients
- 1 butternut squash
- 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 3 garlic cloves minced
- 4 cups packed fresh baby spinach roughly chopped
- 1 cup shredded Mozzarella cheese
- 4 ounces cream cheese
- 1/2 cup crumbled gorgonzola cheese
- 1/2 cup shredded Parmesan cheese
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F, and line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper, and set aside until ready to use.
- Chop the squash lengthwise in half. Scoop out the seeds and stringy insides.
- Season the inside with salt and pepper and place the cut side down onto the prepared baking tray.
- Bake for 30 minutes and then turn them around to bake for another 10 minutes, or until squash is fork-tender. The amount of time will depend on the size of the squash.
- In the meantime, prepare the filling.
- In a 12-inch high-sided skillet, add olive oil and set over medium-high heat.
- When the oil is hot add the garlic and sauté until fragrant, about 30 seconds.
- Add the roughly chopped fresh spinach and sauté for one minute or until the spinach is tender.
- Remove from heat and add shredded mozzarella, softened cream cheese, gorgonzola cheese, and shredded parmesan. Stir to combine until smooth and creamy.
- Once the butternut squash is fork-tender, remove from it the oven. Remove a bit of the squash from the shell to create a "bowl" for the filling. This is the same technique you would use for twice-baked potatoes. Don't remove too much squash as you don't want the squash outside to fall in on itself.
- Add the removed squash to the cheese mixture and stir to combine.
- Fill the squash with the cheese mixture and bake for 10 minutes or until the cheese is evenly melted.
