I liked this meal – the squash stayed crisp and moist and everything worked together very well, but I may use more garlic next time. The mixture inside the squash was a little runny, but that’s because I didn’t squeeze out the spinach as much I should have. Next time I’ll use paper towels in addition to just squeezing it.
I used six large squash instead of 8 – I wouldn’t have had enough filling if I did that! I used my electronic steamer instead of steaming the squash over boiling water – it worked very well. I used Low Fat Ricotta instead of full fat and didn’t lose any taste. We had some fresh basil, so we threw that in with the parsley. I served Classico Four Cheese sauce on the side for dipping – instead of the Tomato and Basil. Finally, I sprayed the top with fake butter spray instead of brushing the tops with melted butter.
I served with a Trader Joe’s Italian Sausage to increase the protein amount. If you’re only having one, I would also suggest a piece of garlic bread or something else Italian-ish.
Overall, a tasty and filling meal that I plan to make again.
