  4. Lay stuffed squash in a layer in pot. Keep layering them flat until they are all in the pot.
  5. Add water, enough to submerge the squash. Add the tomato paste, salt/pepper, lemon juice and grated garlic. These flavors mirror the flavors in the squash.

  8. Take one out, poke it with a fork, it should be tender. Cut it up, rice should be soft. Serve with some of the sauce on top. Enjoy.
