Marsala Acorn Squash

 

Acorn Squash is baked with a little puddle of sweet marsala wine. Substitute another sweet sherry, rose or sweet white wine instead. It is finished with a generous dollop of ricotta or mascarpone cheese and a tiny drizzle of honey. If you ever make fresh ricotta, this is the place to use it.

Ingredients

  • 1 acorn squash, cut in half and deseeded
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • ½ cup marsala wine, or your favorite sweet wine
  • ¼ cup ricotta cheese, or mascarpone cheese
  • 1 teaspoon honey

Preparation Instructions

Preheat the oven to 400. Place the acorn squash with the cut side up on a baking sheet. Sprinkle with salt and pour in the marsala or sweet wine. Bake for 25-35 minutes until a spoon can be gently cut into the squash.

To serve, add a dollop of the cheese and a slight drizzle of the honey- as much of each as you enjoy.
