RICOTTA STUFFED ACORN SQUASH
From "The Fitness Kitchen" by Shelley Sinton. It is described as "Baked squash filled with creamy, honey-kissed ricotta and toasted nuts becomes comfort food on a cold, blustery day. Savor every spoonful as a midday meal or as a warm end to a long afternoon. Not only is winter squash tender and delicious, it's chock-full of vitamins, minerals, and fiber. Tastes good and it's good for you. Add a cup of cooked chicken or turkey to the ricotta for extra protein. For variety, substitute tofu and toasted walnuts for the ricotta and hazelnuts."

- Mix ricotta with honey, oregano, and hazelnuts.
- Evenly fill the baked squash halves with the ricotta mixture.
- If you want the ricotta to be warm, return to oven, on baking sheet, for 5-10 minutes. Remove from oven.

ROASTED ACORN SQUASH STUFFED WITH RISOTTO
Steps:
- For the squash: Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
- Divide 3 of the squash lengthwise and remove the seeds. Place the 6 squash halves cut-side up in a large, high-sided ovenproof skillet or pot (you may need to do this in batches or two pots). Sprinkle the cut sides all over with salt, then pour the milk into the cavities, filling halfway. Pour water into the pot until it reaches halfway up the sides of the squash. Carefully place in the oven and roast uncovered until fork-tender, 35 to 40 minutes.
- Meanwhile, peel, seed and dice the remaining squash. Place in a roasting pan along with the olive oil and a pinch of salt. Toss and roast until fork-tender, 15 to 20 minutes.
- For the risotto: Add the olive oil to a large skillet over medium heat. Add the onions and saute until they are translucent, about 2 minutes. Add the rice and stir to coat with the olive oil and onion mixture. Add the white wine and stir until the liquid has absorbed, about 5 minutes. Add the broth, 1/2 cup at a time, and stir until all the liquid has absorbed before adding another 1/2 cup. (This process will take approximately 25 minutes and the risotto will become creamy from the starch releasing.) When all of the liquid has been added and absorbed, stir in the Parmesan and the roasted, diced squash. Season to taste with salt and pepper. (If the risotto seems too dry, just add some more broth).
- Stuff the roasted squash halves with the risotto and serve.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Pierce each squash with a fork in a dozen places and roast for about 1 hour. Remove the squashes from the oven, let them cool slightly and then cut each one in half and scoop out the seeds.
- Place the bulgur wheat in a bowl and add 1 1/2 cups of boiling water. Set aside to soften for at least 30 minutes.
- Drain the bulgur wheat and combine it in a bowl with the rice, cashews and spices. Mix well and set aside.
- Saute the onion, ginger, garlic and peppers in the olive oil over medium-low heat until they are soft but not brown.
- Add the bulgur wheat mixture to the saute pan and continue to cook over medium-low heat for 3 to 4 minutes. Mix in the tomato paste and add 2 tablespoons of yogurt. Remove from heat and stir until the yogurt is thoroughly incorporated. Then add the rest, 2 tablespoons at a time. Taste and season with salt and pepper if desired.
- Turn the oven up to 400 degrees. Mound about 4 or 5 tablespoons of stuffing in each squash half. Place the squashes on a cookie sheet and drizzle a little olive oil over them. Bake for 20 minutes, or until both stuffing and squashes are lightly browned. Serve immediately.
