A heartwarming dish featuring roasted butternut squash stuffed with savory Italian sausage, quinoa, and aromatic herbs, perfect for fall gatherings.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 medium butternut squash
  • 1 pound Italian sausage
  • 1 onion, chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 cup cooked quinoa or rice
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 1 teaspoon dried rosemary
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Fresh parsley, for garnish

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Cut the butternut squash in half lengthwise and scoop out the seeds. Place the squash halves cut-side up on a baking sheet.
  2. Cook the Italian sausage in a skillet over medium heat until browned and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes. Break it up into small pieces as it cooks.
  3. Add the chopped onion and minced garlic to the skillet. Sauté until the onion is softened, about 3-4 minutes.
  4. Stir in the cooked quinoa or rice along with the dried thyme, dried rosemary, salt, and pepper. Mix until well combined.
  5. Spoon the sausage mixture into the scooped-out halves of the butternut squash, pressing down lightly.
  6. Bake in the preheated oven for 30-40 minutes, or until the squash is tender.
  7. Garnish with fresh parsley and serve warm.

Notes

Pair with a fresh salad or crusty bread. Leftovers can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days.
