Steps:
- Heat the oven to 200°C/fan180°C/ gas 6. Scoop out and discard the seeds from the squash. Sit the squash halves cut-side up in a roasting tin. Score the flesh in a crosshatch pattern with a knife and season. Scatter over the caraway seeds, chillies and whole garlic cloves, then drizzle with olive oil. Cover with foil and roast for 1-1½ hours until soft.
- Set the garlic cloves aside, then scoop all but 2 tbsp of the squash flesh into a bowl, keeping it in pieces. Gently stir through the spinach and season, then leave to cool.
- Squeeze the garlic cloves out of their skins into a large bowl and mash into the remaining 2 tbsp squash using a fork. Add the ricotta, parmesan and some seasoning. Add the whole egg and extra yolk, stir well, then gently stir through the spinach and squash mixture.
- Spoon into 4 x 200g individual gratin dishes. Top with the parmesan, scatter with extra caraway seeds and the sage leaves, then bake for 20-25 minutes until golden. Serve immediately.

BUTTERNUT SQUASH, RICOTTA & SPINACH STUFFED SHELLS RECIPE - (4.2/5)
Provided by Jomamma
Number Of Ingredients 12
Steps:
- Peel, chop and toss in olive oil your butternut squash, then in a hot oven roast at 425°F for 15-20 minutes. Cook your jumbo pasta shells according to directions. In a bowl add approximately 2 cups of ricotta, 1/3 cup parmesan cheese, 1 fresh smashed garlic clove, 1/4 cup frozen chopped spinach ( squeezed and drained), 1 egg, salt, pepper, and your cooled down roasted squash, around 2 cups and grated lemon peel. The lemon peel was key to this dish and added a nice bright flavor. Stuff the shells with the mixture and place in a buttered baking dish. Make a sage brown butter sauce by melting 1 stick of butter in a saute pan until golden brown and bubbly. Add at least 10 sage leaves until slightly crisp. Turn off heat and squeeze in fresh lemon juice. Place your shells in a 400°F oven until heated through around 20-25 minutes. When finished spoon your warm sage sauce all over and sprinkle with grated Parmesan.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Cut squash in half lengthwise. Place cut sides down in a baking dish filled with about an inch of water. Bake 25-30 minutes or until barely tender. Remove from oven and pour off any remaining water. While squash is baking, mix the remaining ingredients in a medium bowl. I think it is easiest to combine everything but the spinach and then work that in last. Allow squash to cool for a few minutes. Then cut in half lengthwise again. Stuff the recessed area with the spinach mixture and bake for an additional 15 minutes or until the squash is tender and the topping is just starting to brown. Remove from oven and sprinkle with additional Parmesan, if desired.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.
- Add the squash, shallot and garlic to a baking sheet. Drizzle with the olive oil and toss to combine. Sprinkle with the thyme, sage, 1/4 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of black pepper and toss again. Roast until the squash is tender and light golden, about 30 minutes. Let cool.
- Meanwhile, bring a large pot of water to a boil; add salt. Add the pasta shells and cook until al dente according to the package directions. Drain and let cool.
- Squeeze the roasted garlic into a small food processor or blender, add the squash, shallot and vegetable broth and puree until smooth.
- Mix together the spinach, cream cheese, ricotta, red pepper flakes, 2/3 cup of the Parmesan and 1 tablespoon salt in a large bowl. Stuff about 2 tablespoons of the spinach mixture into each shell; set aside.
- Add the pureed squash mixture, heavy cream and butter to a large skillet over medium heat. Cook, whisking frequently, until thickened, about 5 minutes. Remove from the heat and whisk in the nutmeg, 1 1/2 teaspoons salt and the remaining 1 1/3 cups Parmesan.
- Spread the cheese sauce into the bottom of a 9-by-13-inch baking dish. Arrange the stuffed shells in the baking dish seam-side up, shingling them so they all fit (you should have 5 shells along the short side and 6 shells along the long side). Top with the mozzarella. Bake until the cheese is melted and bubbling, 15 to 20 minutes. Top with more Parmesan and sage before serving.
ROASTED BUTTERNUT SQUASH AND RICOTTA STUFFED PASTA
A very hearty meal that looks a lot harder to make then it actually is. Perfect to serve at a dinner party because most of the components can be mixed up beforehand leaving you lots of time to get ready. Great for picky eaters (as long as you don't mention the squash!)
