Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400°F.
- Slice the top inch off the top of each acorn squash and save the tops. Use a spoon to clean out the seeds. Slice a very small bit off the bottom if necessary so that the squash sits flat. Place in a baking dish, and put 1/2 tablespoon of butter in the bottom of each squash cavity, season with salt and pepper. Set aside.
- In a large saute pan, brown the sausage over medium high. When done, remove from pan.
- Wipe out the pan and add the olive oil. Add the diced onion, season with salt, pepper and red pepper flakes and cook for about 8 minutes, until the onion is softened.
- Add the garlic and kale, sauté for 3-4 minutes or until the kale is wilted.
- Add the sausage back into the pan and stir to combine.
- Spoon the sausage filling into each squash, being careful not to pack it too tightly (depending on how large your squash is, you may have some filling leftover).
- Place the tops back on the squash, covering the filling, and bake for about 55 minutes, until squash is very tender.
- Remove from oven and remove tops. Grate about 1 tablespoon of parmesan cheese over the acorn squash and then put back in the oven for about 5 more minutes to allow the cheese to melt.
- Remove from oven and serve.
