- Lightly rub squash halves with olive oil. I usually just put a 1/2 Tbsp in my hand and rub it all over 2 halves. 1 Tbsp should cover all 4 halves. Place cut side down on the foiled cookie sheet.
- Bake 30 minutes or until tender and beginning to caramelize around the edges.
- While baking the squash, strain and squeeze the excess water out of the thawed spinach.
- In a bowl, mix the shredded Gruyere, pecans, and salt and pepper to taste.
-Briefly remove squashes from oven once tender. Flip halves over. Scoop the spinach mixture with fingers into each half.
- Return to oven and cook for 15 minutes or until cheese is completely melted.
-Serve and enjoy!
