Baked Stuffed Squash

This can actually be used as a stuffing for tomatoes, zukes, or even potatoes. A good ratio is one person to one-half squash or one zucchini, but it depends on how big the squash are and how hungry the person is!

Ingredients
Squash or zucchini - as many as you have or want to make. The following amounts will fill 3 medium sized squash. You may have to adjust the amount depending on the size of the squash.
Bread crumbs - 1 cup
Matzo meal - 1 cup
Onions, chopped - 1 cup
Garlic, crushed - 1 or 2 cloves
Olive oil - as needed
Oregano - maybe a tablespoon
Cheese (Parmesan works well, but any harder cheese is a fine substitute, such as cheddar) - 1 cup
Salt - to taste
Pepper - to taste

Now What?
Preheat oven to 375. Cut squash in half lengthwise and scoop out seeds. Arrange in a baking dish or on a cookie sheet, scooped side up.
Heat oil in a pan and saute onions and garlic until soft. Mix in a bowl with bread crumbs, matzo meal, and all other ingredients until everything is coated with the crumbs and meal. Scoop into the hollowed out squash so that it makes a little mound and then drizzle with a little olive oil. Rub some olive oil on the rest of the squash as well.
Place in oven and bake for about 40 minutes or until squash is tender.
