directions
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees.

- Set aside the shells.
- Finely chop scooped out middles.
- Heat a skillet and spray with cooking spray.
- Saute chopped squash, onion, basil and garlic until onion is soft.
- Season with salt and pepper.
- Whisk milk and flour together.
- Slowly add small amounts of milk to the veggies while stirring.
- Bring mixture just to a boil.
- Add cheese and 1/2 cup bread crumbs, stirring the whole time.
- Mixture should be semi thick, almost crumbly.
- If it is too thick or too thin, add milk or bread crumbs accordingly.
- Re-season if needed.
- Stuff the shells with this mixture, sprinkle with remaining bread crumbs and dot with butter.
- Bake in oven for 10-20 minutes or until bread crumbs are golden brown.
