1 c. cooked brown rice
3/4 c. freshly grated part-skim mozzarella cheese
1/4 tsp. salt
1/2 tsp. freshly ground black pepper
2 Tbs. minced fresh parsley
2 acorn squash, halved and seeded

Directions:

Remove dish and turn squash cut side up. Fill squash halves with rice mixture. Cover and cook an additional 6 to 8 minutes on high, or until heated thoroughly.
