I thought this recipe was just okay. The squash was a bit tough and the filling was a bit dry. I think I'll stick to my regular stuffed pepper recipe next time.

The ham and cheese filling was a bit bland for my taste, but the squash was cooked perfectly. I think next time I'll try a different filling, maybe something with more vegetables.
