Step 1:Preheat oven to 425°F (220°). Place squash and onion in a large baking dish (baking sheet will also work). Pour in chicken broth and bake, uncovered, for 1 hour, stirring occasionally. Don\’t worry if some of the pieces get a bit browned – this will add to the roasted flavour of the soup

Step 2:Remove from oven. Let cool about 15 minutes – do not pour hot soup directly into food processor, or you risk it exploding. Purée in batches in blender or food processor.

Step 3:Toast curry powder in a small skillet over low heat until fragrant, about 2 minutes – be careful not to burn it. Stir into puréed soup. Season to taste and divide into six bowls (yields about a 3/4 cup per serving); top each bowl with 1 tablespoon of the sour cream. Garnish with scallions and serve.

Step 1:1.Heat the oven to 400°F/200°C. Slice the squash into 3/8-inch/3/4-cm half moons. Toss with the olive oil to coat. Arrange in slightly overlapping rows on a baking sheet.

Place each quarter squash on a piece of tin foil. Generously lather the squash quarters in 2 Tbsp. of room temp butter, a dash of cinnamon and nutmeg and take to the oven to bake till soft and tender. Place a quarter on top of its rind on a plate and position them beside the stove top for easy access.

Cook until al dente, about 2 to 3 minutes or until the pasta floats and is pale in color. Remove the pasta from the water and drain well. Season the pasta with salt and pepper.

Step 3:In a large saute pan, melt the remaining 8 tablespoons of butter. Add the sage to the butter and continue to cook until the butter starts to brown. Remove from the heat.

Step 3:Cook, uncovered, in Microwave Oven 10 minutes or until cheese is melted.

Step 1:Wash zucchini but do not peel. Cut zucchini into 1/4-inch slices. Place zucchini and water in a deep, 1 1/2-quart, heat- resistant, non-metallic casserole. Heat, covered, in Microwave Oven 7 minutes or until zucchini is crisp-tender.

Step 2:Drain water. Add butter or margarine and olive oil to zucchini, Heat, uncovered, in Microwave Oven 1 minute.

Step 2:While the squash is baking, cook and stir the meat in a large skillet until it is brown. Drain off the excess fat. Remove the skillet from the heat and stir in the 1 1/2 ts of salt as well as the cinnamon, then coarsely chopped tart apples and the raisins.

Step 3:When the squash is cooked, turn them so that the cut side is up and remove them to a platter. Drain off any remaining liquid in the pan and dry. Scoop out the pulp from the acorn squash, making a shell that is 1/4-inch thick all the way around. Season the shells with salt to taste. Mash the pulp and mix in the meat mixture

Step 4:Return to the shells, piling them full and sprinkle with 1 tb of brown sugar on each. Drizzle with the melted butter. Bake uncovered until the apple is tender, about 20 to 30 minutes.

Step 1:Cook squash in one inch of water in covered saucepan for 15 minutes, or until tender. Cool. Scrape out pulp and put back in pot. Add margarine, onion, carrots, sugar, mace, ginger and cinnamon. Cover and simmer gently for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally. Cook until vegetables are tender.
