Squash is good for a lot more than decorating—with a little gussying up, it makes a marvelous weeknight meal. To celebrate the season, our friends at PureWow present seven hearty and delicious seasonal squash recipes you’ll fall for.
Fall Couscous
Dried cranberries, crunchy pumpkin seeds and chunks of caramelized butternut squash jazz up this healthy grain.

Acorn Squash Bowls
Baked gourds become edible bowls filled with coconut-milk-laced quinoa salad.
Ratatouille

Butternut Squash Mac and Cheese
The squash–not cheddar cheese–is what gives this healthy dish its orange sauce.
Squash Gratin
Butternut and kabocha are baked right in the skillet with chicken broth, bread crumbs, heavy cream and Parmesan cheese.
