1. To prepare the pistou:

3. To prepare the squash:

4. Preheat the oven to 400°F.

5. Trin the stem, then cut the squash lengthwise.

6. Scoop out the seeds.

7. Put the squash halves cut side up in a roasting pan.

8. Sprinkle the cut sides with salt.

9. Brush generously with the pistou, and let some well up in the seed cavity.

10. Roast for 40-45 minutes, until just browned at the edges and tender when pierced with a knife.

11. Serve hot, with the remaining pistou.
