Ingredients:

Serving

2 medium acorn squash (about 2 lb)
1/2 cup thinly sliced onion
2 tsp olive oil
1 (1 1/2- x 1/2-inch) strip orange rind
1 tbsp coarsely chopped fresh basil
1/2 tsp freshly ground pepper
1 garlic clove, minced
1 (14 1/2-oz) can plum tomatoes, undrained and chopped

Cut each squash crosswise into 4 (1-inch) rings; discard seeds and end pieces. Set squash aside.

Arrange squash in dish, slightly overlapping the rings. Combine basil, pepper, garlic, and tomatoes; spoon over squash rings. Cover and bake at 400° for 30 minutes or until squash is tender.
