Healthy Stuffed Patty Pan Squash

Submitted by Bergy

"I wanted to stuff the squash to add flavor but didn't want anything fatty so I threw this togther and it was, I think, good enough to post. The recipe would not accept "Garlic Plus" spice so it reads 1 tbsp garlic bit it really is "Garlic Plus" a lovely mixed spice is by Club House but in a pinch you may sub 2 garlic cloves chopped . Even with all the spice that is in the recipe it was not "Hot" but do check how spicy your Chipotle sauce is and modify according to your taste buds. You could use this recipe with small 2" Patty pans and just decrease the baking time. If you do not wish to use wine substitute Apple juice"

The stuffing was very good by itself. It was too spicy for the subtleness of the squash, though. Next time, I would add chicken or shrimp...it needed more hardiness.
