Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 350°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Toss the butternut squash with a drizzle of olive oil and a few generous pinches of salt and pepper. Roast until golden brown, 20 to 25 minutes.
- Make the cashew cream: Blend together the drained raw cashews, fresh water, garlic, lemon juice, 1/2 teaspoon salt and pepper.
- Make the filling: In a medium skillet, heat a drizzle of olive oil over medium heat. Add the spinach in increments, along with a pinch of salt, and sauté until all the spinach is incorporated and wilted. Remove from heat and let cool slightly. Squeeze out any excess liquid and chop. In a medium bowl, combine the the spinach with the crumbled tofu, oregano, lemon zest, red pepper flakes, at least 1/4 teaspoon salt, freshly ground black pepper and 1 cup of cashew cream. Season to taste, adding more salt and pepper as desired.
- Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the shells and cook according to the package directions until al dente. Drain.
- Assemble the shells. Spread ¼ cup of the reserved cashew cream on the bottom of an 11x7-inch baking dish. Fill each cooked shell with some of the filling and a few cubes of butternut squash, and place into the baking dish. Drizzle a little olive oil over the shells, cover with foil, and bake for 15 minutes, or until heated through. Remove from the oven and serve with the remaining cashew cream.

Steps:
- Cook the pasta shells according to package instructions (just 9 or 10 minutes in boiling water). I like to make a couple of extra shells just in case any of them fall apart in the boiling water. Drain the water and place shells on a baking sheet until ready to use. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Spray a 9x13-inch baking pan with nonstick spray. Pour 1/2 of the jar of CLASSICO Riserva sauce into the pan and spread to cover the bottom. In a medium bowl, combine the ricotta, cream cheese, half of the havarti or mozzarella and half of the Parmesan. Stir until well combined. Stir in the butternut squash and the sage. Add a good sprinkle of salt and pepper. Fill shells generously with the butternut squash/cheese mixture and place in the prepared baking dish. Top the shells with the remaining sauce. Sprinkle remaining cheeses on top of the sauce. Cover and bake 35 minutes. Serve immediately. Leftovers are great too!

Steps:
- Peel, chop and toss in olive oil your butternut squash, then in a hot oven roast at 425°F for 15-20 minutes. Cook your jumbo pasta shells according to directions. In a bowl add approximately 2 cups of ricotta, 1/3 cup parmesan cheese, 1 fresh smashed garlic clove, 1/4 cup frozen chopped spinach ( squeezed and drained), 1 egg, salt, pepper, and your cooled down roasted squash, around 2 cups and grated lemon peel. The lemon peel was key to this dish and added a nice bright flavor. Stuff the shells with the mixture and place in a buttered baking dish. Make a sage brown butter sauce by melting 1 stick of butter in a saute pan until golden brown and bubbly. Add at least 10 sage leaves until slightly crisp. Turn off heat and squeeze in fresh lemon juice. Place your shells in a 400°F oven until heated through around 20-25 minutes. When finished spoon your warm sage sauce all over and sprinkle with grated Parmesan.
BUTTERNUT SQUASH AND SAUSAGE STUFFED SHELLS
I rarely invite friends for dinner without someone requesting this easy pasta casserole. The sweet squash complements the spicy sausage, and the creamy goat cheese makes it all just melt in your mouth! You can substitute manicotti or even rolled lasagna noodles for the shells. The stuffed shells and sauce can be prepared a day ahead and assembled just before baking. -Taylor Hale, Sonoma, California

BUTTERNUT SQUASH STUFFED SHELLS
We love this dish for Fall dinners. It is very good and a good use for squash. I tried to make sure it isn't already on Recipezaar. I didn't want anyone to miss having a chance to enjoy this dish during Autumn. Sometimes I add some sliced black olives to the sauce. My family loves black olives. This is from my notebook of very old recipes that I am trying to put on Recipezaar for safe keeping, so I don't know where it originally came from.
