Number Of Ingredients 7

6 butternut squash (about 9 pounds total)
1 1/2 teaspoons salt, plus more to taste
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper, plus more to taste
1/2 cup plus 1 tablespoon nonfat sour cream
2 teaspoons paprika
6 fresh chives, cut into 1/8-inch pieces
3 tablespoons fresh breadcrumbs, lightly toasted

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 450 degrees with the rack in center. Halve squash lengthwise, and remove seeds and fibers. Sprinkle squash halves with 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper. Fill a roasting pan with 1/4 inch water. Place squash in pan. Cover with aluminum foil, and bake until squash is tender when pierced with the tip of a knife, 35 to 45 minutes. Remove from oven, transfer squash to a cool surface, and let cool enough to handle. Reduce oven temperature to 425 degrees.
  • Use a spoon to scoop baked flesh out of each half into a large bowl, leaving a 1/4-inch border around six of the halves so they will keep their shape. To the bowl, add sour cream, paprika, chives, and remaining teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper. Mix with a handheld electric mixer or potato masher until smooth and well combined. Season with salt and pepper. Fill six squash halves with mixture (discard remaining six empty halves). Sprinkle tops with toasted breadcrumbs. Bake until golden brown and warm throughout, 20 to 30 minutes. Serve.

The filling was a bit too runny. I think I'll try using less milk next time.

The squash was a bit dry. I think I'll try adding some more butter or oil next time.

This dish was a bit too rich for my taste. I think I'll try a lighter version next time.

The recipe was easy to follow, but the squash took a lot longer to cook than the recipe said. I ended up having to bake it for an extra 30 minutes.

This dish was a bit bland. I think I'll add some more spices to the filling next time.

The squash was a bit undercooked for my taste, but the filling was delicious. I'll definitely try this recipe again, but I'll cook the squash for a few minutes longer next time.

This dish was a bit too sweet for my taste, but my husband loved it. I think next time I'll try using a different type of squash.
