Ingredients

    • 2 acorn squash (1 pound each), halved lengthwise, seeded, and bottoms trimmed to lie flat if necessary
    • Salt and pepper
    • 1/4 cup heavy cream
    • 8 sprigs thyme
    • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan (2 ounces)

Directions

This elegant side dish needs almost no prep. Just pop the squash in the oven, then make the rest of the meal.
