DINNER IN A SQUASH SHELL
This is an old standy-by for fall. Whenever the acorn squash hit the market we would always ask Mom to make this. We never ate the squash part as kids but loved the meat and rice and sauce. Now, as an adult I get to eat my kids leftover squash shells. Fun meal...hope you enjoy.

Steps:
- Heat oven to 375 degrees.
- Bake halved and seeded acorn squash face down on a baking sheet for 30 minutes.
- While squash is cooking mix filling and put in refrigerator until squash is ready.
- Mix basting ingredients and set aside.
- When squash done cooking, fill with meat mixture, mounding extra on top.
- Cover with basting sauce.
- There should be plenty leftover.
- Return to oven for 40 minutes, basting with extra sauce every 10 minutes.
- I usually have extra filling which I cook seperately and extra sauce which I heat in a small pan for safety sake and serve on the side.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Place squash in baking pan; pour in enough boiling water to come 1/2-inch up the sides of dish.
- Bake in the preheated oven until squash is tender, 40 to 45 minutes. Remove from oven; cool until easily handled, 7 to 10 minutes.
- Reduce oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Scoop out squash; separate strands with a fork. Reserve shells.
- Cook beef, onion, and bell pepper in a skillet over medium heat until the meat is no longer pink, about 5 minutes; drain. Stir in garlic, basil, oregano, salt, and pepper; cook and stir until fragrant, about 2 minutes. Add tomatoes and cook until warmed through, about 2 minutes. Stir in squash; cook until liquid has evaporated, about 10 minutes.
- Fill squash shells with squash mixture using a slotted spoon; place in a shallow baking pan.
- Bake in the preheated oven until flavors combine, about 15 minutes. Sprinkle with Cheddar cheese; bake until cheese is melted, about 5 minutes.

BAKED SHELLS WITH WINTER SQUASH
Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 400°F. Butter a 9-by-13-inch baking dish. Heat 3 tablespoons of the oil in a large skillet over medium-low heat. Add the onions; season with salt and pepper. Cover; cook until the onions are soft and release their liquid, about 15 minutes. Uncover; raise the heat to medium. Cook, stirring, until the onions are browned, 20 to 25 minutes. Stir in 1 teaspoon of the rosemary.
- Meanwhile, cook the pasta in a large pot of boiling salted water for 2 minutes less than the package instructions suggest. Drain, reserving 1 1/2 cups of the cooking water. Return the pasta to the pot.
- Stir squash and reserved pasta water into the onions; simmer for 2 minutes. Toss the squash mixture and 1/2 cup of the Parmesan with the pasta. Transfer to the prepared dish.
- Combine the bread cubes with the remaining Parmesan, rosemary, and oil; season with salt and pepper. Top the pasta with the bread cubes; bake until golden brown, 10 to 15 minutes.
- Substituting Fresh Squash
- Roast whole winter squash on a rimmed baking sheet, turning occasionally, until very tender when pierced with a knife, about 1 hour, depending on the size of the squash. When cool enough to handle, halve the squash lengthwise and scrape the flesh into a food processor (discard the skin and seeds). Purée until smooth. You will need 2 cups (from about 3/4 pound squash).

This is a grown-up alternative to macaroni and cheese, but even kids might approve.
