Recipe

Step 1: With a sharp paring knife, remove the tops of the squash and set aside to use as garnish. In a pot of salted boiling water, cook squash for about 10 minutes or until slightly tender. After removing the squash and allowing them to cool, scoop out the centres.

Step 2: In a bowl, combine the cheese, basil, garlic, olive oil and lemon juice to make a paste. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

Step 3: Scoop a spoonful of the cheese mixture into each squash, garnish with the squash tops and drizzle with olive oil.
