  This is a fantastic dish. the flesh is soft and sweet and the sauce melds beautifully. i wrapped each half in loose foil and cooked it on the bbq. our guests couln't leave it alone . I have also varied the filling , i used a soft cream cheese with some tinned asparagus tips - delicious , i also used chilli and soft cheese for an unusual taste combination which worked really well

  Courgettes are a fine replacement for the butternut squash. Adding some blue cheese (mild to strong) crumbles to the mascarpone give it extra flavour.

  Excellent recipe. I also toasted the seeds from the squash and used them as a garnish that worked well - waste not want not!

  No mascarpone, and as I already had a butternut squash, as usual I improvised. Roasted as directed with olive oil, and as an addition I peeled and added in the cavity a large whole single mild garlic bulb, which I removed 10 minutes towards the end and completed roasting on one side of the tin. Then I cut a mozzarella cheese in half and put each half in the cavity on top of the sage. Roasted whole lot for another 10 minutes at high temperature and sprinkled with the parmesan at serving. Delicious and a good protein rich dish too. Yum. (Incidentally last year we kept seeds from commercial butternut and they have grown plants). I can serve this to French carnivore friends with confidence.

  "Delicious"! I added crushed garlic and a pinch of chilli flakes to the oil. I also roasted a bulb of garlic alongside and squeezed the soft cloves into the mascapone before adding. You can't overdo the sage and a little grated parmesan on the top is a perfect finishing touch- a must! Very satisfying dish all round. Thank you.

  It feels like something that tastes this good shouldn't be so easy to make! I made this with a large harlequin squash and Greek-style yoghurt rather than mascarpone and it tasted really good.
