Unfortunately, I don't make stuffed zucchini nearly as much as I should. Simple roasted pumpkin recipe I came across on epicurious.com. Substitute the squash below for Calabaza. Calabaza is often sold already chopped into chunks in many Latin markets. This is because of the difficulty many have in chopping the whole squash.
