Ingredients
- 2 acorn squash
- 1 pound Italian pork sausage see note
- salt to taste
- black pepper to taste
- butter to taste
- 1/2 medium onion chopped
- 2-3 cloves garlic minced
- 1/2 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- 2 thyme sprigs
- 1.5 cups Parmesan Cheese freshly grated
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375F and move the rack to the middle position.
- Cut each acorn squash in half and scoop out the innards. Place them on a baking sheet (face up) and sprinkle with salt & pepper. Place a small piece of butter in each half. Roast for 30 minutes.
- Meanwhile, brown the sausage meat in a skillet over medium-high heat for 5-7 minutes and break it up with a spoon as it's cooking.
- Add the onion to the pan and cook for five minutes, stirring occasionally.
- Remove the pan from the heat, and add the garlic, Worcestershire sauce, thyme leaves (remove from stems), parmesan, and more salt/pepper if desired.
- Take the squash out of the oven and fill each half with the sausage mixture. Roast for an additional 30 minutes.
Notes
- The acorn squash should be roughly the same size. I bought fairly large ones for this dish. If yours are smaller, you may want to use less sausage (I used 4 from a 5-pack of Johnsonville Mild Italian sausages and took the sausage meat out of the casings)... anywhere around a pound or so of sausage meat should work fine.
