Simply Sausage & Squash
I was alone for dinner last night, which made it the perfect night for butternut squash, which Todd does not like (surprised?). I found an itty-bitty squash at Natural, cut it into cubes, tossed it with olive oil, salt, pepper, herbs and chunks of chicken sausage and roasted it in a 450 degree oven. Stirred it once, but only took it out after the smoke set off the alarm (which just sends me running to close the doors to the kitchen, since the smoke detector is in the hallway and is just barely out of my reach, even when I'm standing on a chair). Drizzled on some balsamic at the end. Simple and simply good, although it didn't feel like a complete meal on it's own.

One of the best meals I ever made was an acorn squash stuffed with sausage, apples and sage, and maybe some raisins (going back a few years). Saute all the stuffing components, suff them into the squash (cut in half) back for 45 minutes. Good stuff.
I agree that it doesnt seem like enough...it is more of an appretizer sounding item.

That sounds like a perfect home-alone meal. I think I'll keep that idea on hand. Is one squash too much for one person? I guess I could find a small one. And this way you don't have to try to peel it.
