Halve the squash, remove seeds, scoop the flesh and dice. Peel onion and garlic. Trim scallions, chop finely and fry with the onion and garlic in olive oil. Add pumpkin cubes and cook briefly.

Meanwhile, preheat the oven broiler. Place the two squash shell halves in a broiler-safe baking dish.

Healthy, because
Goat's cheese provides the bone-strengthening minerals calcium and phosphorus as well as short-chain fatty acids that are easily digestible. Potassium from the butternut squash stimulates the function of the bladder and kidneys and has a gentle draining effect.
Even smarter
If the goat's cheese is not to your taste, another soft cheese or buffalo mozzarella will also fit. With some fresh thyme and liquid honey you can give this dish a slightly different flavour.
