INGREDIENTS:
3 medium squash, cubed
1 clove garlic, minced
1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese, cubed
1 tablespoon dried basil leaves
Salt to taste
DIRECTIONS:
In a glass serving dish, combine the squash pieces and garlic. Season with salt, cover with plastic wrap, and microwave for 5 to 8 minutes on high, or until tender. Stir after every 3 to 4 minutes. Sprinkle the cream cheese over the top, and return to the microwave, uncovered for about 1 minute, or until the cheese is melted. Add basil. Stir until the cheese is smooth and blended into the squash. Let set for a minute or two before serving.
If you do not cook in the microwave, you can make this on the top of the stove in a saucepan. Cook the squash and garlic in a bit of water, until the squash is tender. Pour off any excess liquid. Sprinkle the cheese over the top, stirring to melt. Add the basil and continue to stir until smooth. Let sit for a couple of minutes before serving.
