Sausage and White Bean-Stuffed Spaghetti Squash image

All the flavors of hearty sausage and white bean soup are packed into a tender roasted spaghetti squash. A fork is all it takes to separate the pale orange strands of the gourd into vegetable noodles.

Provided by Food Network Kitchen

Categories     main-dish

Time 1h25m

Yield 2 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 large spaghetti squash (about 3 pounds)
Kosher salt
2 tablespoons olive oil
8 ounces sweet Italian sausage, casing removed and crumbled
1 pint cherry tomatoes, halved
2 teaspoons fresh thyme leaves, chopped
1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes, plus more for serving, optional
2 cloves garlic, thinly sliced
1/2 cup dry white wine
1/2 cup heavy cream
One 15.5-ounce can white beans, drained and rinsed
One 5-ounce package baby spinach
2 tablespoons grated Parmesan

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F. Cut the squash in half lengthwise using a serrated knife and remove the seeds with a spoon. Brush the flesh of both halves with 1 teaspoon oil and season with 1/2 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper. Put the halves flesh-side down on a baking sheet and cook until tender, the flesh can easily be flaked with a fork and the edges just turn brown, about 45 minutes. Separate the strands of squash by scraping the flesh with a fork. Leave the scraped strands inside the squash.
  • Meanwhile, heat the remaining oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the sausage and cook, breaking it up with a wooden spoon and taking care to keep some larger chunks, until it just starts to brown and crisp up, 5 to 6 minutes. Add the tomatoes, thyme, red pepper flakes and garlic and cook, stirring, until just fragrant, about 1 minute. Pour in the wine and cook until reduced by half, 2 to 3 minutes. Add the heavy cream and 1 teaspoon salt and bring to a boil. Lower the heat to medium and simmer until the sauce reduces by half, 3 to 4 minutes. Add the white beans and spinach to the skillet and cook, stirring frequently, until the spinach just wilts and is still vibrant green, 1 to 2 minutes.
  • Divide the sausage mixture between the 2 squash halves and mix with the squash strands until well combined. Sprinkle each squash half with 1 tablespoon Parmesan and serve with more red pepper flakes, if using.

SUNNY'S ITALIAN SAUSAGE-STUFFED ACORN SQUASH



Sunny's Italian Sausage-Stuffed Acorn Squash image

Provided by Sunny Anderson

Categories     side-dish

Time 1h30m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 16

2 acorn squash, halved through the stem to the base and seeds removed
2 tablespoons olive oil
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 tablespoon olive oil
2 links (8 ounces) spicy Italian sausage, casings removed
1/2 cup chopped red onions
1/4 teaspoon hot Hungarian paprika
1/4 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
6 fresh sage leaves, finely chopped
1 stalk celery, finely chopped
1 red bell pepper, seeded and finely chopped
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1/2 cup shredded Cheddar-Monterey Jack cheese blend
1/2 cup chopped walnuts
1/4 cup dried cranberries, finely chopped
Chopped fresh parsley, for garnish

Steps:

  • For the squash: Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
  • Place the squash on a baking sheet flesh-side up and rub with the olive oil. Season liberally with salt and pepper. Roast until the edges begin to ripple and a poke with a fork reveals tender flesh, about 40 minutes. Allow to cool until easy to handle.
  • Lower the oven temperature to 350 degrees F.
  • Use a spoon to scoop out the flesh into a large bowl, leaving about 1/4 inch of flesh within the skin of each squash half to help it maintain its shape.
  • For the filling: In a large pan on medium-high heat, add the olive oil and sausage. While cooking, break the sausage into bits like ground meat with a wooden spoon. Once some of the fat is rendered from the sausage, add the onions, paprika, pumpkin pie spice, sage, celery, bell peppers and a pinch of salt. Cook until the sausage is done and the vegetables are tender.
  • Add the mixture to the bowl of squash along with the cheese, walnuts and cranberries and stir to combine. Taste and season with salt and pepper if needed. Fill the hollowed squash halves with the mixture and place back in the oven to melt the cheese and make the tops golden brown, 15 more minutes. Sprinkle with parsley and serve warm.

STUFFED ACORN SQUASH WITH SAUSAGE AND KALE



Stuffed Acorn Squash With Sausage and Kale image

Provided by Lidey Heuck

Categories     dinner, sausages, vegetables, main course

Time 1h10m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

2 medium acorn squash (about 2 pounds each)
Olive oil, as needed
Kosher salt and black pepper
1/4 cup raw hazelnuts, for serving (optional)
1 cup chopped shallots (about 4 shallots)
1/4 packed cup chopped fresh sage leaves
3 garlic cloves, minced
1 cup lightly packed chopped lacinato or curly kale leaves
1 pound bulk hot Italian pork sausage
Generous pinch of ground nutmeg
1/2 cup dry white wine, such as sauvignon blanc
1 cup cooked white or brown rice, or farro
1/3 cup grated Parmesan
Chopped fresh parsley, for serving (optional)

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 400 degrees. Carefully halve cut each squash in half through the stem, removing the stem if still attached. Scoop out and discard the seeds, and place the squash halves on a sheet pan, cut-side up. (You may want to trim the bottom of the squash halves slightly so they don't wobble on the pan.) Brush each squash generously with olive oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Roast until the flesh is very tender when pierced with a knife, 35 to 40 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, if using the hazelnuts, heat a large skillet slicked with olive oil over medium. Add the hazelnuts and toast, tossing often, until the skins begin to split and the nuts are fragrant, about 5 minutes. Transfer the nuts to a cutting board to cool. Once cooled, roll the nuts around on the board with the palm of your hand to remove some of the skins. Discard the skins, coarsely chop the nuts, sprinkle lightly with salt, then set aside.
  • Add 2 tablespoons olive oil to the skillet and heat over medium-low. Add the shallots and cook for 3 to 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until translucent. Add the sage and garlic and cook for 1 minute, stirring often, until the garlic is fragrant. Add the kale and cook, tossing, just until it begins to wilt.
  • Raise the heat to medium-high and add the sausage, nutmeg, 1 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper. Cook, crumbling the sausage with a wooden spoon as it cooks, until no longer pink, about 6 minutes. Add the wine and cook, scraping any browned bits from the bottom of the pan, until about half the liquid has evaporated. Remove the skillet from the heat.
  • Using a small spoon, gently scrape about 3 heaping tablespoons of flesh from the cavity of each squash (you should have about 1 cup altogether) and add it to the sausage, along with the rice and Parmesan. Mix thoroughly until combined, breaking up any chunks of squash.
  • Divide the sausage mixture among the squash halves, filling each one to the top. (Depending on the size of the squash cavities, you may need to slightly heap the filling.) Return the sheet pan to the oven to roast for 15 to 20 minutes, or until the filling is heated through and starting to brown on top.
  • Sprinkle with chopped hazelnuts and parsley, if using, and serve hot.
