Having grown up in all four seasons, I always feel cheated living in Southern California. Over the long weekend, on our way back from the beach we stopped at a wonderful pumpkin patch. I usually buy acorn squash and make Acorn Squash with Sausage, Peas & Onions, but I decided to branch out and try the Delicata squash.

Prep: 15 mins
Cook: 50 mins
Yields: 4 Servings

Ingredients

2 medium delicata squash or acorn squash

2 teaspoons olive oil plus 1 Tablespoon

8 ounce sausage, cut into small pieces

1 Tablespoon fresh sage, coarsely chopped

Salt and pepper, to taste

15 ounce can white beans, like cannelloni or Great Northern

¼ cup bread crumbs

2 Tablespoon parmesan cheese

Directions

1Preheat the oven to 425F.

2Cut the squash half lengthwise in half, and scrape out the seeds with a spoon. Brush with 2 teaspoons olive oil and season with salt and pepper.

3Place squash face down on a foil lined baking sheet and roast until soft, about 20-30 minutes.

4Sauté shallot and sage in 1 Tablespoon olive oil until softened, 4-5 minutes. Add sausage and cook until brown. Add the white beans and cook for 1-2 minutes.

5When squash is roasted, remove from oven and scoop the sausage mixture into the cavity. Add breadcrumbs and Parmesan cheese on top.

6Return to the oven and roast for an additional 15 minutes, until it is browned on top.
