Directions:

  1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
  2. Season the squash with olive oil, salt and pepper. Place on a baking sheet, flesh side up and add 1/2 cup water to the pan. Cover with alluminum foil and bake until tender, about 1 hour. Remove from the oven and cool completely.
  3. In a large saute pan, over medium heat, brown the sausage and onions, about 6 to 8 minutes.
