Stuffed Kumi Kum (Nz Type of Squash)

"Kumi kum also sometimes known as Kamo Kamo. This is a truely flavoursome recipe that is just as delcious eaten cold the next day. I used dried sage and oregano for the herbs as I didn't have any fresh ones available. I used less pinenuts than the recipe calls for and used frozen spinach."
