Stuffed Patty Pan Squash - cooking recipe

Ingredients
    6 pattypan squash, stem and blossom removed (or 3 larger squash)
    6 slices bacon, cooked & crumbled
    1/2 cup onion, diced
    1 1/2 cups soft breadcrumbs
    1 garlic clove, minced
    1/4 cup parmesan cheese, freshly grated
    salt, to taste
    pepper, to taste
Preparation
    Preheat oven to 350\u00b0F (175\u00b0C).
    Bring one inch of water to a boil in a saucepan over medium-high heat. Add squash, cover, and cook for 10 minutes, or until a fork can pierce the stem with little resistance.
    Drain, and slice off the top stem of the squash. Use a melon baller to carefully scoop out the centers of the squash. Reserve all of the bits of squash. (I used larger squash so discarded the seeds - warning the squash is very liquidy in the center so I drained it a bit after scooping.
    Mince the reserved squash.
    Combine remaining ingredients in a bowl with the minced squash, mixing well.
    Stuff each squash to overflowing with the mixture, and place them in a baking dish. Cover the dish loosely with aluminum foil.
    Bake for 15 minutes in the preheated oven, or until squash are heated through.
