Sausage-and-Pear-Stuffed Acorn Squash image

This main course dish is a real beauty! Acorn squash halves are roasted and deliciously filled with a savory sausage and pear saute. The natural sweet flavors from the pear and squash are perfectly coupled with the warm taste of sausage and sage. I've written the recipe for 2 people, but you could easily double or even triple the filling for more squash halves!

Time 50m

Yield 2

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 serving olive oil cooking spray
1 acorn squash, halved and seeded
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 pinch salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
½ pound sage-flavored ground breakfast sausage
½ onion, diced
½ cup thinly sliced cabbage
½ cup matchstick-cut carrots
1 pear - peeled, cored, and diced

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Line a baking pan with aluminum foil and spray with oil.
  • Rub or brush 1/2 tablespoon oil on the flesh of each acorn squash half. Season with salt and pepper. Place squash halves onto the prepared baking pan, cut-side down.
  • Roast in the preheated oven until softened, about 30 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, brown sausage in a large skillet over medium heat. Add onion, cabbage, and carrots. Saute until onion is soft and translucent, 5 to 7 minutes. Add diced pear and cook until softened but still crunchy, 2 to 3 minutes longer.
  • Remove acorn squash from oven and turn over using tongs. Stuff with sausage-pear mixture. Return to oven and roast for an additional 10 minutes.
