Squash is arguably the best thing about fall. They are pretty, delicious and loaded with nutrition. For this recipe I used sweet dumpling squash, but you can use any kind you have on hand. Stuffed squash makes a lovely presentation and makes an everyday meal feel special.
Sweet dumpling is one of my favorites, because it's just the right size for one person. No one in my family likes squash as much as I do, so I occasionally make sweet dumpling squash just for me. Then I can enjoy squash more often than I force it on serve it to the rest of the family. For a tasty, simple side dish I sprinkle sweet dumpling squash with sage, garlic, sea salt and pepper and bake cut side down on an oiled baking sheet along side whatever else I happen to be cooking.
Quinoa stuffed squash is heartier, making a filling main dish. Somewhat sweet, it's a nice departure from my all-time favorite squash recipe, savory Stuffed Acorn Squash.
This satisfying meal makes the house smell so good, and is fast, it can be ready in about 35 minutes.
