When I was asked to bring a dish to a comfort food themed potluck dinner party at a friend’s house, I naturally thought three things:

• bolognese sauce;
• seasonal squash;
• and cover everything with fromage gratiné.

I remembered a recipe my mother once found in the Montreal Gazette which I thought was phenomenal. Really? I thought as a kid, a squash that had the consistency of spaghetti? And you could carve them out like canoes and fill them with spaghetti sauce and melted cheese?!?!? The dish clearly had left a strong impression on me, because I make it from time to time. Here it is in all its glory. 🙂
