Categories     Vegetable

Time 35m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 12

2 medium acorn squash (about 1 pound each)
extra virgin olive oil
kosher salt & freshly ground black pepper
2 cups heavy cream
1 garlic clove, crushed
1 sprig thyme
1 cup grated parmesan cheese
1/8 teaspoon grated nutmeg
1 lb cheese tortellini (store bought)
kosher salt & freshly ground black pepper
grated parmesan cheese, for topping
fresh sage leaf (to garnish)

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350°F.
  • Split the squash in half (cut lengthwise from top end to bottom end) cutting right through the stem so each half has a piece of stem attached. Scrape out the seeds with a spoon and discard. Cut a small piece off the rounded bottom to give it a base to sit on. Place the squash halves, cut sides up, on a baking sheet and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Drizzle with extra-virgin olive oil and bake in the oven for 25-30 minutes, or until tender.
  • Meanwhile, prepare the tortellini mix. Heat a large pot of salted water to cook the tortellini inches In a separate saucepan heat the heavy cream over medium heat with garlic and thyme and reduce until thick and coats the back of a wooden spoon. Add the nutmeg and parmesan, then melt over low heat. Cook the tortellini in the boiling water (3-4 minutes for fresh tortellini, or follow directions of brand) and then strain and toss into cream mixture. Use some of the pasta water to thin out sauce if necessary. Season with salt and pepper and then divide amongst cooked squash cups.
  • Turn the oven up to 400°F.
  • Sprinkle the tops of squash bowls with grated parmesan and a fresh sage leave and then bake in the oven for a further 10 minutes until the cheese is melted and golden brown.

I'm a vegetarian, so I used vegetable broth instead of chicken broth. The dish was still very flavorful.

I'm allergic to cheese, so I substituted vegan cheese in this recipe. It turned out great!

This recipe is way too complicated for a weeknight meal. I spent over an hour in the kitchen.

I followed the recipe exactly, but my squash didn't roast evenly. Some parts were burnt while others were still raw.

This recipe was a bit too bland for my taste. I think it needed more seasoning.

I'm not sure what went wrong, but my squash was undercooked and the tortellini was mushy. I'll have to try this recipe again.

I'm not a huge fan of squash, but this recipe changed my mind. The roasted squash was so tender and flavorful, and the tortellini filling was creamy and cheesy.
