This is the refined and elegant variant of the pumpkin millefeuille: in this recipe, in fact, the delica squash slices are alternated with those of bacon and smoked cheese, gradually arranging them until you get a pretty rose. The final sprinkling of grated parmesan cheese will give the preparation a truly impeccable gratin. Simple and very fast to prepare, since the delica squash is used with all its peel, it is preferable to prepare more than one ovenproof dish; in fact everybody will love this dish so prepare a lot of it!
