Italian sausage in a creamy tomato sauce nestled into squash halves makes for a cozy meal on a cold evening. This recipe works with either butternut or delicata squash. Delicata squash is delicious, but it's hard to locate outside the fall months.

Creamy Sausage-Stuffed Butternut Squash

Instructions

1
|
Preheat the oven to 400°F.
2
|
Cut the ends from the squash, then slice in half lengthwise. Use a spoon to remove the seedy internal cavity from each squash half. Arrange the halves cut-side down on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
3
|
Roast the squash on middle rack of oven until it is fork-tender, 40-45 minutes. While the squash bakes, prepare the filling.
4
|
Set a large skillet over medium-high heat and add the olive oil. Once oil is shimmering, add the sausage and diced onion. Saute, breaking up the meat with a rubber spatula as it cooks, until it is browned and the onion is translucent, 6-7 minutes. Add the garlic and oregano and cook until fragrant, about 30 seconds.
5
|
Reduce the heat to medium-low and add the diced tomatoes. Season with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the tomatoes begin to bubble and the liquid has reduced slightly, 2-3 minutes. Add the heavy cream and grated Parmesan cheese and stir. Continue cooking until the cream is gently bubbling, 1-2 minutes. Remove the skillet from the heat.
6
|
Remove the baking sheet from the oven and flip squash halves so they are cut-side up. Divide the sausage mixture evenly between each squash half, gently packing it into the center cavity. Divide the shredded mozzarella cheese evenly over each mound of filling.
7
|
Return the baking sheet to middle rack of oven and bake until the cheese is melted and lightly golden, 11-14 minutes.
8
|
Check to see that squash is done. Remove from oven or add time as needed.
9
|
Transfer the squash halves to serving plates and serve immediately.
