Remove white papery skin from garlic head (do not peel or separate the cloves). Wrap garlic head in foil. Bake at 350\u00b0 for 1 hour; cool 10 minutes. Separate cloves; squeeze to extract garlic pulp. Set half of garlic pulp aside; reserve remaining garlic pulp for another use. Discard skins. Heat a large Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add pancetta; saut\u00e9 5 minutes or until crisp. Remove pancetta from pan, reserving drippings in pan. Add onion and 1 T. oil to drippings in pan; saut\u00e9 5 minutes. Reduce heat to medium-low; cook 25 minutes or until onion is very tender and browned, stirring frequently. Stir in vinegar. Preheat oven to 375. Add garlic pulp, pancetta, squash, and next 6 ingredients (through bay leaf) to onion mixture, stirring well. Place bread in a food processor and pulse 10 times or until coarse crumbs measure about 1 C. Combine breadcrumbs, Parmesan cheese, and 1\/2 tsp. olive oil; sprinkle evenly over squash mixture. Cover and bake at 375\u00b0 for 50 minutes or until squash is tender. Uncover and bake an additional 15 minutes or until topping is browned. Discard bay leaf. Sprinkle with parsley.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>1 whole garlic head 4 ounces pancetta, chopped 2 C. vertically sliced onion 1 T. olive oil 1 T. white wine vinegar 4 1\/2 C.
