No comments
When baked, squash takes on a lovely, sweet, nutty flavour. Here, ricotta and cream add a luscious richness.

  • 250g ricotta
  • 140ml double cream
  • 25g Parmesan cheese, grated
  • 1/2 tsp ground nutmeg
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp freshly ground black pepper
Serves: 4 Preparation: 15 Cook Time: 120 Total Time: 135min whats this
 

Directions

  1. Preheat the oven to 200C. Wash the squash and place in the centre of the oven. Cook for to one and a half to two hours until almost tender.
  2. Beat the ricotta, cream, half the Parmesan and nutmeg, then season with salt and pepper.
  3. Cut the squash in half, scoop out the seeds and fill with the ricotta mixture. Sprinkle on the rest of the Parmesan and return to the oven for 5-10 minutes until the flesh is completely tender and the cheese golden and lightly set - but still wobbly!
