Instructions
Step 1
Cut the squash in half and clean out the seeds and strings. Brush the inside with 1 tbsp olive oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Place cut side down on a baking sheet and bake at 400°F for 30-40 minutes or until fork tender.
Step 2
In a skillet heat 1 tbsp olive oil to medium heat and cook the white slices of green onion for 1-2 minutes. Add the sausage and break up as it cooks for about 5 minutes on medium high. Then add the garlic for 1 minute.
Step 3
When meat is cooked through add the walnuts, green slices of green onion and your choice of chopped greens. Cook another 1-2 minutes.
Step 4
Once the squash is cool enough to handle scoop out the flesh leaving 1/4" on the peel. Add the squash to the skillet and mix together.
Step 5
Fill the squash shells then top with shredded cheese. Pop back into the 400°F oven for 4-5 minutes to melt the cheese.
Step 6
Serve garnished with fresh parsley. Oh, and did I mention, the peel is tender and edible.
