  • 2 stalks of celery, finely diced
  • 2 cloves of garlic, minced

Instructions
  1. Mise en place ~ Gather Ingredients
  2. Preheat oven to 400°F.
  3. In a bowl combine breadcrumbs, cheese and parsley; drizzle with olive oil; set aside.
  4. Cut squash into circles; remove seeds. I used a melon-baller to remove the seeds.
  5. Brush with olive oil; season with salt and pepper.
  6. Place squash on a cookie sheet; roast until soft; approximately 20 minutes depending on size.
  7. In a skillet sauté onion, garlic, carrot and celery in 1 tbsp olive oil/butter until softened, 4-5 minutes. Add in garlic just until you can smell. Remove to bowl or pull to side if your skillet is large enough.
  8. Using the same skillet sauté sausage until brown; remove and drain on a paper towel.
  9. Combine sausage and mixture; taste for seasoning.
  10. When squash is roasted, bring from oven.
  11. Scoop sausage and vegetable mixture into squash cavity.
  12. Top with breadcrumb mixture.
  13. Return to the oven; roast for an additional 15 minutes, until stuffing is browned.
  14. Give a squeeze of lemon over the squash. It seems to brighten the flavor.
