 ITALIAN SAUSAGE STUFFED BUTTERNUT SQUASH


  3              small  squash, butternut -- HALVED LENGTHWISE
  1              pound  italian sausage links

  1              clove  garlic -- chopped
  8             slices  bread -- cut 1" squares
  2                     egg -- beaten
  2        tablespoons  parsley


In trying to speed up the cooking process I microwaved the whole squash in the microwave for about 20 minutes --be sure to prick skin after it starts to soften!


SLICE SQUASH LENGTHWISE AND REMOVE SEEDS FROM SQUASH.

 PLACE CUTSIDE DOWN ON GREASED BAKING PAN.   BAKE AT 350 FOR 50 MIN TIL EASILY PIERCED WITH A FORK.


Chop one lartge onion--love the food chopped it makes it all such quick work!

MEANWHILE REMOVE SAUSAGE FROM CASING

ADD THE GARLIC


AND FRY WITH ONION AND GARLIC TIL DONE.

ADD BREAD,

ADD PARSLEY AND EGGS (stir in eggs after you get the bread sausage mixture blended so that the eggs dont scramble on you!!
