Preparation
- STEP 1 OF 7
Wash and cut the squashes in half lengthwise. Remove the seeds. Brush with a little oil, salt, and pepper. Place on a baking sheet with the cut side up and bake in a static oven at 190°C for 25 minutes.
- STEP 2 OF 7
In a pan, heat a little oil with the garlic. Add the fresh spinach, let it wilt, and lightly salt. Remove the garlic and coarsely chop the spinach.
- STEP 3 OF 7
In a mixer, blend the cooled spinach with the Creamy Mixed Caciotta cut into small cubes, the Fontina diced, the crumbled Sheep's Blue Cheese, and half of the Parmigiano. Add a grating of nutmeg, adjust salt and pepper.
- STEP 4 OF 7
When the squash is partially cooked, gently scoop out some of the flesh, leaving a border about 1 cm thick. Mash the flesh and add it to the cheese and spinach filling.
- STEP 5 OF 7
Fill the squash halves with the filling. Sprinkle with the remaining Parmigiano and a drizzle of oil. Bake again at 190°C for 15-20 minutes until the surface is golden and bubbly.
- STEP 6 OF 7
Let cool slightly, then serve directly in the squash. You can add a grind of pepper and some extra flakes of Blue Cheese for serving.
- STEP 7 OF 7
Slice for a "wow" presentation, showing the cheesy layers, and pair with pureed pears.
