  2. Peel squash. Cut it in half lengthwise and scoop out seeds. Dice into cubes.
  3. Combine squash, stock, and cream in a pot. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Reduce heat to medium; simmer until squash is tender when pierced with a fork, about 15 minutes.

Let mozzarella melt into sauce and continue to simmer.
