Ingredients:

• Sausage: Italian or regular bulk sausage is great
• Garlic: a must for added flavor

• Parmesan cheese: everything is better with cheese, and parmesan adds such a wonderful nutty flavor

• Salt and pepper

1. Preheat oven to 350.

5. Cut acorn squash in half, remove seeds, and season liberally with salt.
6. Add 1/2 tbsp of butter to each squash half.
7. Top each squash with sausage filling and sprinkle with extra breadcrumbs.
8. Bake for 45-60 minutes until squash is soft.
