Stuffed Delicata Squash with Sausage.

Stuffed Delicata Squash with Sausage is a hearty seasonal favorite. Creamy roasted squash stuffed with sausage, mushrooms, and chopped dinosaur kale is the perfect fall or winter dish. I top it with pecorino romano, a cheese made from sheep’s milk, for the ultimate comforting and wholesome dinner.

Make the filling

Step 1: In a large skillet over medium-high heat, heat 1 tablespoon of avocado oil to the skillet then add the sausage. Brown the meat, breaking it apart into small pieces for 3 minutes.

Step 2: Next add the mushrooms, onion, and kale to the skillet and season with salt, pepper, and poultry seasoning. 

Sauté the meat and vegetables for 5 minutes, until the mushrooms are tender, onions are soft, and the kale is wilted.

Step 3: Add the half and half and 1 cup Monterey cheese. Stir everything together until the sauce is creamy and the cheese has melted.

Step 4: Stuff the roasted delicate squashes and top with the remaining 1 cup Monterey cheese and the Pecorino Romano.

Bake at 375℉ for about 15 minutes until bubbly and lightly golden on top. Sprinkle with fresh herbs if desired.
