Equipment

  • oven
  • Nonstick pan
  • Metal spoon
  • Sharp Knife

Ingredients
  

Vegetable Filling

  • 2 whole Delicata squash halved longways, seeds removed
  • 2 links Vegan Italian sausage crumbled (184 grams)
  • 6 pieces Crimini mushroom tops finely diced
  • 2 sprigs Rosemary removed from stems, roughly chopped
  • 1 cup Arugula or spinach, other leafy green
  • 0.5 cup Parmesan grated

Instructions
 

Cooking Steps

  • Preheat the oven to 425º Fahrenheit.
  • Begin by using a very sharp knife to cut off the top stem of the squash. Then, very carefully cut the squash in half longways.
  • Use a metal spoon to scrape the seeds out of the inside until completely clean.
  • Spray or drizzle the inside of the squash with olive oil, along with the sheet pan.
  • Roast at 425º Fahrenheit for 20 minutes, until the squash is fork tender.
  • Remove and set to the side.
  • Crumble the meatless sausage with your fingers, or mince with a knife.
  • Finely chop the mushroom caps and give the arugula a rough chop.
  • In a nonstick pan, add about 1 tablespoon olive oil and the crumbled sausage. Sauté until browned.
  • Add the chopped mushrooms and continue to sauté until cooked.
  • Remove the pan from the heat and add rosemary and arugula and grated parmesan. Stir to combine until the arugula has wilted and the parmesan is mostly melted.
  • Turn the oven to 300º Fahrenheit.
  • Gently scoop the sausage filling into the cavity of the squash. Fill until just slightly over the top of the squash.
  • Top with more grated cheese and put back into the oven for 5 minutes or until the parmesan starts to melt and/or brown.
  • Optional, but you may want to broil for 2-3 minutes to brown the cheese further.
  • Serve warm and enjoy!

Notes

Use your favorite vegetarian sausage, preferably Italian-spiced. If you're not vegetarian, regular sausage is fine too! Arugula is what I had, but any leafy green will work! Spinach is a great choice too, just chop it roughly before cooking. Feel free to add more or less cheese if you desire. If vegan, omit or opt for a vegan parmesan. Violife parmesan block is my favorite choice.
