Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.
- Add the squash, shallot and garlic to a baking sheet. Drizzle with the olive oil and toss to combine. Sprinkle with the thyme, sage, 1/4 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of black pepper and toss again. Roast until the squash is tender and light golden, about 30 minutes. Let cool.
- Meanwhile, bring a large pot of water to a boil; add salt. Add the pasta shells and cook until al dente according to the package directions. Drain and let cool.
- Squeeze the roasted garlic into a small food processor or blender, add the squash, shallot and vegetable broth and puree until smooth.
- Mix together the spinach, cream cheese, ricotta, red pepper flakes, 2/3 cup of the Parmesan and 1 tablespoon salt in a large bowl. Stuff about 2 tablespoons of the spinach mixture into each shell; set aside.
- Add the pureed squash mixture, heavy cream and butter to a large skillet over medium heat. Cook, whisking frequently, until thickened, about 5 minutes. Remove from the heat and whisk in the nutmeg, 1 1/2 teaspoons salt and the remaining 1 1/3 cups Parmesan.
- Spread the cheese sauce into the bottom of a 9-by-13-inch baking dish. Arrange the stuffed shells in the baking dish seam-side up, shingling them so they all fit (you should have 5 shells along the short side and 6 shells along the long side). Top with the mozzarella. Bake until the cheese is melted and bubbling, 15 to 20 minutes. Top with more Parmesan and sage before serving.
ROASTED SQUASH WITH CHEESE FONDUE
This autumnal dish turns a classic cheese fondue into a sauce for whole roasted squash. The lightly caramelized squash are filled with the gooey fondue mixture and topped with crunchy, garlicky bread crumbs. When the squash are cut, the cheese sauce runs onto the serving plate, to be spooned back over the soft, amber slices. Serve this as a side dish to roasted meats or fish, or as a rich appetizer on its own. For the best presentation, choose squash that are about the same shape and size.

Steps:
- Heat oven to 425 degrees. Cut the stem ends off the tops of the squash, then cut a small slice from the bottoms, if needed, so they stand up level. If you can't access the seeds from the top (if there's still some squash flesh blocking your way), cut a small round in the flesh and scoop out the seeds with a spoon.
- Drizzle squash with oil and season the insides with salt and pepper. Place squash on a rimmed baking sheet, and roast until tender and edges are golden, 25 to 35 minutes. (Squash can be roasted 8 hours ahead, kept at room temperature and then reheated just before serving.)
- Meanwhile, prepare the bread crumbs: In a medium bowl, stir together bread crumbs, oil, anchovies if using, garlic, thyme and red-pepper flakes.
- Heat a dry small skillet over medium heat, then stir in bread crumb mixture. Cook, stirring frequently, until golden brown, about 5 minutes. Scrape back into the bowl, and stir in lemon zest. (Bread crumbs can be made a day ahead, and stored airtight at room temperature.)
- Just before serving, make the fondue: In a large bowl, toss together Gruyère, Emmenthaler and cornstarch.
- In a medium pot, melt butter over medium-low heat. Stir in shallot and cook until translucent, about 5 minutes. Stir in garlic and cook for another minute. Pour in wine and cream, and bring to a simmer, then stir in mustard powder, nutmeg and a generous amount of pepper. Reduce heat to medium-low, and add cheese, a handful at a time, stirring occasionally and waiting until melted after each addition.
- After cheese has all melted, leave pot on stove over low heat until mixture starts to bubble, stirring occasionally, 3 to 5 minutes. (Resist the temptation to stir too frequently or vigorously, as this can make the fondue grainy.) Taste and add a squeeze of lemon juice, if you like.
- Place squash on a rimmed serving platter, pour cheese sauce into cavities, and top with bread crumbs. To serve, slice each squash into quarters and scoop onto plates or bowls, spooning up the sauce.

CHEESY ROASTED GARLIC SPAGHETTI SQUASH WITH SPINACH
Roasting garlic alongside the spaghetti squash makes double use of the oven time, and adds double the flavor. This spaghetti squash is great on its own, or as a side dish to any protein.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
- Drizzle olive oil over the cut side of the spaghetti squash. Season with salt and black pepper. Place cut-side down on a baking sheet. Place unpeeled garlic on a piece of aluminum foil. Drizzle with olive oil. Wrap aluminum foil around garlic, and place onto baking sheet next to the squash.
- Bake in the preheated oven until squash is tender and easily pierced with a fork, 40 to 45 minutes. Allow squash and garlic to rest until cool enough to handle. Leave the oven on.
- Peel garlic and squeeze cloves into a large bowl. Smash with a fork until smooth. Add 1 tablespoon olive oil, onion powder, basil, oregano, and parsley. Mix into a paste.
- Use a fork to scrape out spaghetti squash strands into the bowl, reserving the shells. Toss spaghetti squash strands with the garlic paste until thoroughly coated. Mix in spinach, 1/4 cup mozzarella cheese, and 1/4 cup Parmesan cheese; toss to combine. Season with salt and pepper.
- Fill each reserved spaghetti squash shell evenly with the filling. Sprinkle remaining mozzarella and Parmesan over the top. Return the filled shells to the baking sheet.
- Bake until cheeses melt, 7 to 10 minutes. Turn on broiler and broil until cheeses begin to brown and bubble, 3 to 5 minutes. Serve immediately.

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
