Great. Used pecorino instead of parmesan and pear instead of apple. Delicious.

This was excellent! I shaved 10 or 15 minutes off the prep time by putting the squash in 1/2 inch water, cut side down in the microwave for 10 minutes. By the time I had prepared the filling, the oven was preheated, and the squash was ready to stuff. 20 minutes in the oven finished it off.

I love this recipe! I crave it and have made it several times. My only addition is that when I bake them in the oven I put a little olive oil with sage in the bottom of the pan and then a sprig of rosemary under each half of squash for a more savory bake when they are in the oven the first time. I think the recommendation of pear would be great and I'll try that next time.

I'm allergic to egg and milk, so I omitted the cheese and egg. it still turned out amazing! I added a sprinkle of sage to the top before placing in the oven the final time, just for more flavor.
