Ingredients

1 pkg. (6 oz.) long grain & wild rice, uncooked
2 delicata squash (about 7 inches long)
1/4 cup KRAFT Tuscan House Italian Dressing, divided
4 oz. cremini mushrooms, sliced
1 stalk celery, chopped
1 tub (7.5 oz.) PHILADELPHIA Chive & Onion Cream Cheese Spread
1/3 cup chopped walnuts

Steps:

Cook rice as directed on package, omitting the butter. Meanwhile, pierce each squash in several places with sharp knife; place on double layer of paper towels. Microwave on HIGH 5 to 7 min. or until squash is tender; cool slightly.
Heat oven to 400°F. Cut squash lengthwise in half; scoop out and discard seeds. Place squash, cut sides up, in 13x9-inch baking dish; brush evenly with 1 Tbsp. of the dressing.
Heat remaining dressing in large skillet on medium heat. Add mushrooms and celery; cook 4 to 5 min. or until tender, stirring frequently. Add cream cheese spread and rice; cook and stir on medium-low heat 2 to 3 min. or until cream cheese is completely melted and mixture is well blended. Spoon into squash halves; sprinkle with nuts.
Bake 20 to 25 min. or until squash is tender and filling is heated through.
