DIRECTIONS:
1. Cut squash in half lengthwise, and scoop out all seeds and membrane.
2. Place both pieces of cut squash face down on waxed paper, and place into microwave.
3. Microwave on high until squash is easily pierced with a fork, and flesh is very tender.
4. Remove from microwave, and carefully scoop out cooked squash into mixing bowl.
5. Add 1 C FF Ricotta, 3 Tbsp Splenda Brown Sugar, 2 Tbsp Margarine, .5 tsp Cinnamon, and .5 tsp Pumpkin Pie Spice.
