"This is a cheater recipe, so much quicker and easy too. The method gives a good tasty result, almost as good as roasted from the start. (Spinach blocks - I buy a brand of frozen spinach that comes in a bag of individually frozen small blocks of spinach - they are wonderful for adding to recipes such as soups, stews and stuffing mixes, especially good cooked in with rice instant or otherwise; just decrease the about of liquid used.)"

Step by Step Method

Step 1

Pre heat oven to 400F degrees. Wash the squash and cut in half through the middle. Cut a small slice off the bottom of each half , if necessary so they will sit level. Place halves on microwavable safe plate, Microwave on high for 5 minutes.

In the meantime, place rice, chicken stock, olive oil, salt, spinach blocks, onions and pepper in a saucepan, bring to boil, reduce heat and simmer until rice is softened, spinach is defrosted, and most of the liquid is absorbed; about 10 minutes; stir to mix.

Step 3

Cover a cookie sheet with aluminum foil for easy clean up; place microwave softened squash on sheet; spray cavity with veggie spray and sprinkle each with salt and freshly ground pepper.

Step 4

Fill each squash half with rice mixture and place 2 slices of Havarti cheese on top of each half. Roast on middle rack of oven for 20 minutes or until bubbly and golden.
