    This is a great way of preparing acorn squash. It's steamed, mashed and then blended with eggs, double cream and seasonings, topped with feta and tomatoes and baked to perfection. Serve as a wonderful side dish or a vegetarian main.

    I give this three stars because firstly, I haven't made this yet, but it does look really interesting! I'm not even vegetarian but my sister is...well, she eats some meats but mostly vegetarian meals so I'm looking for meals to make her at some point. I really want to try this myself though! When I make it I may give it four or five stars lol  -  16 Jul 2013

    This is the bomb!!! I left out the peppers and onions and used bread crumbs instead of stuffing mix. I also used half and half. Also, I chopped the squash and put it in the oven in the mixture without cooking it first and it was fine in 45 minutes.  -  13 Nov 2008  (Review from Allrecipes US | Canada)

    The cream isn't necessary--milk works fine! I only had cherry tomatoes so I halved them and put them all across the top. It looked really pretty. This would be great to serve at Thanksgiving or Christmas.  -  01 Nov 2008  (Review from Allrecipes US | Canada)
