Instructions

Preheat oven to 450ºF (230ºC).

Cut squash in half lengthwise and scoop out seeds. Drizzle squash halves with 2 tbsp (30 mL) of canola oil, season with salt and pepper. Place cut-side down on foil-lined baking sheet. Bake 30 minutes, until tender.

Remove squash from oven, set aside until cool enough to handle.

Meanwhile, in a large non-stick pan over medium-high heat, add remaining canola oil and mushrooms. Cook until mushrooms have released their water, 6-8 minutes. Add spinach, cook until wilted, 3-4 minutes; remove from heat.

Use a fork to shred the inside of each squash, leaving about a ½-inch (1.25 cm) of squash in the skin. In a large bowl add shredded squash, sautéed mushrooms, spinach, white pea beans, mozzarella balls, sundried tomatoes, and pesto; gently toss to combine. Divide the squash mixture among the 4 skins. Return to oven and bake 15 minutes, until mozzarella balls are melted. Serve warm.
