STUFFED YELLOW SQUASH (serves 6)

Your Ingredients:

3 large yellow squash
1/2 pound spicy Italian sausage (take sausage out of casings and discard casings)
1/2 cup green pepper, chopped
1/4 cup scallions, chopped
1 tspn freshly minced garlic
1 tbsp freshly chopped basil leaves
1 tbsp freshly chopped oregano leaves
salt and freshly ground pepper
1 medium tomato, chopped
2 tbsp tomato paste
1 tbsp olive oil
1/2 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
1-1/2 cups shredded Mozzarella cheese

PREHEAT oven to 375˚F.

WASH squash thoroughly.

PLACE whole squash in a saucepan, cover with water and bring to a boil.

TURN heat down until water reaches a simmer, cover and simmer for 10 minutes. Squash should be tender but firm.

REMOVE from heat and set aside to cool enough to handle.

SLICE squash lengthwise.

SCOOP out seeds and discard. Scoop out pulp and leave 1/4-inch thick shell.

CHOP and set aside pulp.

HEAT a medium skillet and add crumbled Italian sausage, green pepper, scallions, garlic, basil, oregano, salt and pepper. Cook until sausage is no longer pink, about 10 minutes.

ADD chopped pulp, chopped tomatoes, tomato paste and Parmesan cheese to mixture. Blend well and cook an additional 5 minutes.

SPRAY a 13x9” heatproof baking dish with cooking spray. Rub squash halves with olive oil and place in baking dish.

SPOON the sausage mixture into shells.

BAKE uncovered at 375˚F for 15 minutes to heat mixture thoroughly.

REMOVE from oven and sprinkle Mozzarella cheese over squash and return to oven until cheese is melted and bubbly, about 5 additional minutes (but keep an eye on it because oven temperatures vary).

SERVE with a tossed salad.

Always Enjoy!
