Ingredients:

Serving

Directions:

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees.
Cut squash in half lengthwise and deseed.
Place the squash halves on a roasting rack and season with 1/4 teaspoon each of salt and pepper.
Place 1 tablespoon of butter and 2 sage leaves in the hollowed-out core of each half.
Bake the squash on a tray on the oven's middle rack until the flesh is just soft-about 1 hour (or longer-it all depends on your oven).
Remove the squash and let it cool until you can work with the flesh comfortably, about 15 minutes.
Using a fork, scrape the meat of the squash away from the skin, so that you get fluffy spaghetti-like strands. Reserve these and discard the skins. The squash will hold at this point up to a day ahead of time, in an air-tight container in the fridge.
Heat the remaining 3 tablespoons of butter in a large saucepan over medium heat.
When the butter has melted, add the walnuts.
Toast the nuts and allow the butter to bubble, about 1 minute.
Add the rest of the sage leaves.
When the leaves release their aroma and begin to crackle in the pan (about 1 minute), add the squash and stir to coat it with the flavored butter.
Cook for 2 minutes over medium heat until the squash is warm, stirring frequently so the flavors get inside the squash.
Season the rest of the salt and pepper.
Serve on a large plate or platter, topped with the cheese.
