Health and fertility benefits of Rice-Stuffed Butternut Squash Recipe

Researchers believe that cranberries contain substances that prevent infection-causing bacteria from sticking to the urinary tract walls. However, store-bought cranberry juice is typically all sugar - so make sure to stick with straight cranberries.

Ingredients

1 small butternut squash (1-1/2 pounds)
3/4 cup cooked long grain and wild rice
1/3 cup ricotta cheese
3 tablespoons dried cranberries
3 tablespoons mango chutney
1 green onion, chopped
3/4 teaspoon curry powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper
2 teaspoons butter

Instructions

Cut squash in half lengthwise; discard seeds. Cut a thin slice from the bottom of each half so it sits flat. Place cut side down in an 11x7-in. baking dish; add 1/2 in. of hot water. Bake, uncovered, at 350 ° for 30 minutes.
Drain water from pan; turn squash cut side up. When cool enough to handle, scoop out pulp, leaving about a 1/4-in. shell.
In a large bowl, combine the pulp, rice, cheese, cranberries, chutney, onion, curry powder, salt and pepper. Spoon into squash shells. Dot with butter. Bake for 15-20 minutes or until squash is tender.
