Cook's Notes:
To save time, you can cook the squash in the microwave, but you will lose some of the flavor from roasting it in the oven. Prick whole squash several times with a sharp knife. Place squash in a microwave-safe baking dish. Cook, uncovered, on 100% power until tender, 15 to 20 minutes. Let stand for 5 minutes. Halve squash lengthwise and remove seeds. Prepare filling and heat as above.
Substitute walnuts for the pine nuts and parsley for the basil, if desired.
