Ingredients

2 medium butternut squash (1/2 per person)
250g mascarpone
1 mug sundried tomatoes
1 tsp nutmeg
Black pepper
Salad, to serve

Handy Hint

Serve with a peppery salad (rocket or watercress).

Method

1. Split butternut squash in half, place on baking tray lined with paper and bake at 200C for an hour, or until soft when poked with a knife.
2. Roughly chop the tomatoes and mix with the rest of the ingredients. Season to taste.
3. When the squash is soft, turn off the oven, scoop the seeds out of each half and fill the resulting cavity with the mascarpone mixture. Put back in the still-hot oven for 20 mins to allow the filling to heat and melt.

I tried this out just on myself tonight for dinner - it was amazingly delicious. The boys didn't want to try it though. Good enough for a dinner party although I thought you might want smaller portions for a dinner party - maybe by using butternut squash cut into cubes instead? Really was yummy!

I don't know anyone who has found this difficult to make. Its good for you, Meat lovers love it; even though its veggie, it looks impressive for dinner parties, its cheapish, very easy to make and tastes gorgeous! Go on, give it a try!
