This was definitely tasty, but the butter and Parmesan all ended up in the bottom of the cup of the squash as it melted, and it was awkward eating it out of the shell. I'll definitely use the idea again, but next time I'll scoop the squash into a bowl and mix the butter and cheese into it, saving a little Parmesan to sprinkle on top.
