Squash filled with meat

Today I had the time to prepare this lovely dish. Finally, I was waiting for weeks to make it!!!


I do not want to talk about it too long as these pictures will talk for themselves.


I carved the squash to remove the seeds.


I filled them with minced pork. This part is a bit tricky as the meat must be cooked before filling. 
How to make it?  What to add?

- onion
- garlic
- pork
- herbs, salt, pepper 
- and of course the squash and the cheese

Cut the onion and add it to a pot, simmer it in a little cooking oil. Add the minced meat and the spices, herbs,  and keep cooking. Once it is done fill in the squashes, cover with cheese and put them into the oven.


Bake them for two hours on around 170 celsius. Uncover them and check the squash. If they are about to melt, they are ready to eat.

I had some pork filling left, I put them to the freezer. Next week when I make penne I can use them with some tomato and cheese.
