Directions

Boil squash in large pot for 45 minutes until soft. Drain and let cool.

Preheat oven to 375℉ (190℃). Divide squash in half and remove the seeds. Scrape the squash out into a bowl.

Boil onion, garlic, clove, parsley, basil and chicken broth in a skillet. Reduce heat and add chicken. Cook for 4 minutes each side. Remove chicken. Reduce broth to 1 cup. Cut chicken into strips.

Sauté shallots or scallions in 2 tablespoons of butter for 2 minutes. Add mushrooms, continue cooking until soft.

Melt remaining butter in saucepan. Add flour and cook for two minutes stirring continuously. Add cream, vermouth, nutmeg, dash of hot pepper sauce, lemon juice and salt (if desired) and pepper. Cook until thick (4 minutes).

Combine everything into a greased baking dish and top with parmesan cheese. Bake for 20 minutes until lightly browned.

This came out quite nicely, though the instructions are actually missing a step (presumably you add the cream after the flour to make a roux). I would have found it more appealing if it were a bit drier, and the cheese never really browned, but my DH liked it as is, and we did have some good crusty bread to soak up the delicious juice. I'd give it 4 stars, 3 for flavor and an extra one for its unusualness.

What amount of nutmeg and when do I use the clove? Or do I use nutmeg and not clove?
