Notes

The nutrition information is calculated through an automated generator and is not always accurate.
If you have an electric pressure cooker, I highly recommend using that instead of baking. It saves so much time, and the squash is much easier to cut when it’s soft.
Fresh garlic, herbs, and parmesan cheese are highly recommended for this recipe! The flavor just isn't the same with dried herbs.
Use a garlic press to mince that garlic, it will save you time.
