Cheesy Sausage stuffed in Pattypan Squash Cheesy Sausage stuffed in Pattypan Squash

When I was a kid me and my brothers would fly the pattypan squash around like flying saucers. My Mom would cook them and we would eat the flying saucers without us knowing it. The squash became harder and harder to get throughout the years. I didn't know how to cook them and I thought you had to peel them, like spaghetti squash. So I asked my Mom how to cook them and did they have to be peeled. She chuckled and said that it was easy and no need to peel just cook them like yellow squash.

Always looking for new ways to get some squash into my family's diet! 😏👍 I also use these "Nourish Bowls" alot for many different recipes. Spinach dips, soups, squash, & MORE! 👌😎 *Tip- If you use vegan alternative meatballs & cheese, or even just leave those ingredients out,... then this can be a delicious & nutritious vegan meal! 👏🏆 #acornsquash #squashrecipe #veganrecipe #meatballs #bbqmeatballs #bakedbeans #fridgecleanout #leftoversmakeovers

Roasted Acorn Squash with Sausage, Farro, Spinach, and Feta Roasted Acorn Squash with Sausage, Farro, Spinach, and Feta

I’ve had butternut squash, spaghetti squash, pumpkin, and delicata squash, but never acorn squash, until now. I knew it was going to be good but I didn’t expect it to be this amazing! I’m a huge fan now. Just browsing through my Pinterest boards, I saw my opportunity to finally try acorn squash. This recipe was adapted from The Hungry Goddess.I love how easy this recipe is for such a beautiful looking dish. The roasted acorn squash is its own bowl! It’s stuffed with pork sausage, farro, spinach, and topped with feta. I like how you could easily customize this recipe to your liking. For instance, there are a few varieties of pork sausage meat you can get at the market. You can also use any type of goat cheese. Depending on your appetite, choose the size of your acorn squash carefully. When you go to the market, gauge if you’re able to eat half of one. Hope you enjoy this recipe as much as I did! This healthy and hearty recipe is perfect for those chilly nights.
