Delicata Delish image

Delicious baked delicata squash is stuffed with and served over a fragrant mixture of quinoa, shallots, and pine nuts. This recipe is a great way to use the squash and shallots in your farm share delivery! We can't wait to try it with different seasonings and different types of squash. Two of us finished off the whole thing, but we think it ideally serves four.

This dish was a little bland for my taste. I think it needed more seasoning. However, the squash was roasted nicely and the filling was creamy.
