How to cook deliciously - Sausage-Stuffed Butternut Squash
1. Stage
Preheat the broiler, then cut the squash lengthwise in half, discarding its seeds. Place the squash in a large microwave-safe dish, cut side down, and add a 1/2 inch of water. Microwave the squash, covered, on high until it softens, which will take 20 t0 25 minutes. Remove the squash and let it cool slightly.
2. Stage
Meanwhile, in a large nonstick skillet, cook and crumble the sausage and onion over medium-high heat until the meat is no longer pink, 5 to 7 minutes. Then, add the garlic, stir and cook for 1 more minute.
3. Stage
Leaving 1/2-inch-thick shells, scoop the flesh from the squash and stir it into the sausage mixture. Then place the squash shells on a baking sheet and fill them with the sausage mixture. Sprinkle on a healthy helping of cheese.
4. Stage
Broil the squash 4 to 5 inches from the heat until the cheese is melted, 1 to 2 minutes. If desired, sprinkle the squash with pepper flakes. To serve, cut each half into 2 portions.
