Acorn Squash Medley

One of nature's finest creations: squash. Squash appeals to most pallets and pairs well with virtually every food category. I served this with a glass of merlot, black seedless grapes and banana-walnut-cranberry bread--a heavenly combination. Enjoy!!

Steps

Halve both acorn squash and remove and discard seeds.
Place upside down on microwaveable dish and cook on high for 8-10 minutes until softened.
Scoop out squash leaving approximately 1 / 4 inch on shells to retain their shapes.
Set aside.
Cook sausages , cool and cut into 1 / 2 inch size bites.
Saute thinly sliced garlic , shredded carrots and chopped peppers in olive oil for 3-4 minutes until softened.
Stir in spinach , mushrooms and seasonings and cook 3-4 minutes more.
Remove from heat , combine with cooked rice , sausage and squash.
Fill each half of the acorn shells with equal amounts of the filling.
Bake in 350 degree oven for 20 minutes.
Cool five minutes before serving.
Enjoy.
