Wow... so good you forget you're eating healthy vegetables! I used 3 oz. of gruyere and 1 oz. grated reggiano to top it. I also added a bit of nutmeg, sweet paprika and garlic to the stuffing. This will be a family staple!

This went over VERY well. It's one of the most attractive looking dishes I've tried--the orange of the squash, the green spinach & the melted cheese on top--and tastes great, too. I had some pecans on hand, so I substituted them for the walnuts. I was puzzled, though, by the requirement of a 10 x 15-inch pan. I found that the squashes fit just fine in an 8 x 8-inch pan.

This was a wonderful addition to our dinner! So simple yet so attractive and tasty. We did not find it bland at all! Squash, Spinach and Gruyere - how could you go wrong! Great Recipe!!!

I loved this and so did my Father, he said "Ive been wanting to do something different with acorn squash, rather than just putting butter in it and roasting" I was able to fit the whole pakage of spinach into 2 halves, just 1 squash but I had to sqeeze all the liquid out, I then added about 3 or 4 tablespoons of heavy cream, I like creamed spinach, I packed it in the squash but it fit. I will definately be making this again, thanks Barb for a new way to eat acorn squash!

I tried this dish tonight based on the positive reviews and both my bf and I didn't like it. We are both squash fans and love spinach, but this dish just seemed too dry and flavorless. I doubt I'll make it again.

Not bad. My vegetarian son said he liked the basic brown sugar-type squash better, but DH liked the Gruyere. We were out of walnuts and used hazelnuts instead, which worked out well. And we fit all of it into 1 squash (2 pieces) instead of two.

I really enjoy this dish, and my partner - who usually hates squash! - likes it too. My only modification is adding minced garlic and herbs de provence to the spinach mixture. I'm totally perplexed by the reviewers that found it dry and bland! Perhaps it was overcooked?

I love this recipe. It's delicious and doesn't take a lot of ingredients or make a big mess in the kitchen. This should go on the vegetarian single-mom must-have list of recipes!

This was a very simple and easy to prepare dish. This was a very bland though. If I were to make it again I would probably add a little garlic to the spinach filling to give it some ompf. This was also the first time I ever cooked with acorn squash and found that it didn't have as much flavor to it as I thought it would when I smelled it raw (very much like pumpkin but not as strong a flavor). Wasn't bad just not a lot of flavor all around.

This was really good. Our 4 year old and our 1 year old both loved it, and so did we. I'll definitely make this again. Thanks!
