Preparation:

Directions for 1000 Watt Microwave Oven. Cut washed squash in half lengthwise; remove seeds Spread 1 tablespoon butter or margarine over cut surfaces of squash halves; place cut side down in Microwave safe dish. Microwave on full for 6 minutes (you will have to adjust the time to accomodate a lower wattage Microwave Oven)then turn squash over and microwave another 2 minutes. Let cool to good temperature for handling and scoop cooked squash from shells. Mash squash, then combine with onion, celery, tuna, salt and pepper (if using pepper) and thyme; mix well. Pile tuna-squash mixture in shells. Sprinkle lightly with bread crumbs and 2 tablespoons melted butter; dust with paprika. Return to Microwave for 2 minutes. The original Recipe was for a regular oven, however that takes around 50 minutes cooking time in addition to the preparation time. It is just as tasty prepared in the Microwave.
