How to Make Stuffed Crookneck Squash

  1. Preheat your broiler.
  2. Cut two medium crookneck squash in half lengthwise and scoop out the seeds.
  3. Place the squash halves cut-side down in a shallow, microwave-safe baking dish. Cover tightly with microwave-safe plastic wrap.
  4. Microwave on high for 3-4 minutes, or until fork-tender.
  5. While the squash cooks, finely chop 1/2 medium onion and coarsely chop 1/2 cup raw cashews.
  6. Melt 2 tablespoons of butter in a medium frying pan over medium heat.
  7. Add the chopped onion and cook, stirring occasionally, until translucent (about 2-3 minutes).
  8. Remove the squash from the microwave and carefully scoop out some of the flesh from the centers, leaving a 1/8-inch thick shell. Chop the removed squash.
  9. Add the chopped squash, cashews, and 1/4 cup breadcrumbs to the pan with the cooked onion. Stir to combine.
  10. Fill each squash shell with the stuffing mixture.
  11. Sprinkle the remaining 1/4 cup breadcrumbs evenly over the stuffed squash.
  12. Place the stuffed squash on a broiler pan and broil 4 inches from the heat for 2-3 minutes, or until golden brown and heated through.
