Steps:
- 1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Cut each squash lengthwise.
- 2. Place some oil in the bottom of a roasting pan. Add the squash cut side up.
- 3. Season the squash.
- 4. Roast open side facing up for about 10-15 minutes.
- 5. While they are cooking, slice mushrooms.
- 6. Pull them from the oven. Pierce squash with a fork. They should be roughly half-cooked before you start the next step.
- 7. Sprinkle with Parmesan cheese.
- 8. Fan mushroom slices lengthwise, overlapping some so they are covered from one end to the other. Generally, two mushrooms per squash seem to work.
- 9. Top with pizza cheese. I use the blends but you can use straight mozzarella. I am conservative with the cheese because I am trying to watch my calories. (Non-fat cheese does not melt worth anything.)
- 10. Return to oven and cook another 10-15 minutes. Cheese should be melted, slightly brown and squash should pierce easily.
- 11. I eat one half of the zucchini and one half of summer squash in a sitting. I usually skip any other veggies when I cook these as they are quite filling.
- 12. The roasting temp on this is flexible. You can go up or down 25 degrees to multitask with another dish for the same meal.
