This stuffed butternut recipe is perfect for when the days get shorter and we need comfort. The sweetness of the squash pairs with the crunch of the walnuts (I’m lucky to have a very productive walnut tree this year) and the creaminess of the goat cheese. A drizzle of honey enhances the whole thing if you wish. Serve this dish with a green salad or on its own for a complete meal.
