Method

Preheat the oven to 400°F.

Arrange whole squash on a baking sheet and roast until the skin is papery and a fork inserted in 2 or 3 different spots reveals very tender flesh, about 1 1/4 hours.

Set aside until cool enough to handle. Peel away the skin, and discard the seeds.

Meanwhile, pulse raisins, pecans, parsley, sage and orange zest in a food processor until finely chopped and transfer to a bowl; wipe out food processor.

In the clean food processor, purée warm squash and tofu until very smooth and creamy. (Reheat, if needed, in a medium pot over medium heat.)

Transfer to a large bowl or platter, scatter raisin-sage mixture over the top and serve.
