Stuffed Spicy Butternut Squash

Butternut squash is a vegetable that we use often at home, in soups, stews, and casseroles, and roasted with other vegetables as a side dish.

I love too that you can bake them whole (well, halved) as a meal in itself.

The contrast of tangy feta and the sweetness of the squash, makes this a delightful dish for vegetarians (and meat eaters too!)
