  • Spinach200g
  • Parmigiano reggiano di vacca bruna 30 months60g
  • Fontina valdostana dop100g
  • Caciotta mista cremosa100g
  • Erborinato di pecora100g
  • Extra virgin olive oil30mL
  • Fresh garlic10g
  • Nutmegto taste
  • Salt and black pepperto taste
  • Purissima di pere100g

Preparation

  1. STEP 1 OF 7

    Wash and cut the squashes in half lengthwise. Remove the seeds. Brush with a little oil, salt, and pepper. Place on a baking sheet with the cut side up and bake in a static oven at 190°C for 25 minutes.

  2. STEP 2 OF 7

    In a pan, heat a little oil with the garlic. Add the fresh spinach, let it wilt, and lightly salt. Remove the garlic and coarsely chop the spinach.

  3. STEP 3 OF 7

    In a mixer, blend the cooled spinach with the Caciotta Mista Cremosa cut into small cubes, the Fontina diced, the crumbled Erborinato Ramato di Pecora, and half of the Parmigiano. Add a grating of nutmeg, adjust salt and pepper.

  4. STEP 4 OF 7

    When the squash is partially cooked, gently scoop out some of the flesh, leaving a border about 1 cm thick. Mash the flesh and add it to the cheese and spinach filling.

  5. STEP 5 OF 7

    Fill the squash halves with the filling. Sprinkle with the remaining Parmigiano and a drizzle of oil. Bake again at 190°C for 15-20 minutes until the surface is golden and bubbly.

  6. STEP 6 OF 7

    Let it cool slightly, then serve directly in the squash. You can add a grind of pepper and some extra shavings of Erborinato for serving.

  7. STEP 7 OF 7

    Slice for a "wow" presentation, showing the cheesy layers, and pair with purissima di pere.
