Patty Pan Squash is seasonal and fun to cook with. Enjoy this with lamb and fresh herbs from the market, or substitute chopped mushrooms for the meat!
- 4 medium-small patty pan squash
- 3/4 lb ground Italian sausage
- 2 tsp extra virgin olive oil
- 1 small yellow onion, diced
- 1 clove garlic, minced
- 1 1/2 cups tomatoes, diced
- 1 Tb fresh Italian herbs, chopped (rosemary, thyme, oregano, basil, sage)
- 1/4 cup dry white wine
- 1/2-3/4 tsp sea salt
- 1/4 tsp black pepper
- 1/3 cup freshly grated parmesan cheese
-
Bring a large stockpot of water to a boil and boil the squash for 15-20 minutes, until barely fork tender. When cool enough to handle, cut the tops off and set aside. Scoop out the seeds and a little of the flesh to make a cavity for the filling.
-
Preheat the oven to 350° F.
-
In a medium skillet over medium-high heat, heat the olive oil and cook the sausage until no longer pink. Add the onion and garlic and cook until the onion is soft and translucent, 4-5 minutes. Add the tomatoes, herbs, white wine, salt, and pepper. Bring to a boil, reduce the heat to medium, and simmer, uncovered, for 7-8 minutes until most of the liquid is evaporated. Add salt and pepper to taste.
-
While the mixture is simmering, prepare the squash. Fill the cavity of each squash with the sausage mixture and top with 3 tablespoons of Parmesan cheese. Place the "lids" on top of each squash.
-
Bake for 15-20 minutes or until the squash feels tender when squeezed or a fork can be easily inserted through the flesh. Enjoy hot!
