Preparation

  1. Step 1

    Preheat the oven to 375 degrees. In a large bowl, toss the squashes, onion, cream, cheese, salt, pepper and 2 tablespoons of the parsley. Scrape into a gratin dish or a medium-size baking dish. Set aside.

  2. Step 2

    In a skillet set over medium heat, cook the bacon, stirring, until it is browned and crisp. Add the walnuts and cook, stirring, until they are lightly toasted. Add the bread crumbs and cook for another minute. Remove from the heat and stir in the remaining 2 tablespoons of parsley. Sprinkle the mixture evenly over the squash in the gratin dish. Bake until the squash is very tender and the topping is browned, about 40 minutes. Allow to cool slightly before serving.

I have made this every Thanksgiving since it first appeared in the late 90's. It is one that would cause great consternation among guests if I failed to make it. So tasty!!
