WINTER SQUASH FESTIVE DIP
I make this dip and then use either an ornamental pumpkin or turban squash that I've hollowed out and put it in it. It's super pretty as a center piece and it keeps people out of the kitchen while you are cooking Thanksgiving dinner. We have nut allergies so I don't do this, but a friend who uses this recipe adds pine nuts and pecans on the top as a garnish.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
- Place squash on a rimmed baking sheet. Drizzle olive oil over squash and season with salt and pepper. Place garlic in a piece of aluminum foil, drizzle olive oil over garlic, and loosely wrap foil around garlic. Place garlic packet on the baking sheet with squash.
- Bake in the preheated oven until squash is soft and golden brown, about 50 minutes. Cool squash slightly.
- Melt 1/4 cup butter in a skillet over medium heat; cook and stir scallions until softened, about 4 minutes.
- Scoop meat from cooked squash and transfer to a food processor. Squeeze garlic cloves from skins and add to squash in food processor; add scallions and chipotle peppers. Pulse until mixture is smooth. Add remaining butter, sour cream, Parmesan cheese, cream cheese, and lemon juice; pulse just until combined but not smooth. Season dip with salt and pepper.
- Refrigerate dip for 1 hour.

[email protected]This dip is a great way to use up leftover winter squash. I had some roasted butternut squash in the fridge, and this dip was the perfect way to use it up.
