How To Make stuffed squash

• Step 1
  Preheat your oven to 375 degrees F. Clean and slice the squash in half, allowing it to lie on its side after stuffing. With a small spoon, scoop the flesh out of each half, leaving about a 1/4 of an inch of skin and flesh inside. Set this aside, to saute' later. Fill a large pan with salted water and place shells inside. Place on low heat and allow to simmer for about 15 minutes. Be careful not to overcook the shells.
• Step 2
  While shells are simmering, take the scooped out portion of the squash and place in a skillet with the onions and sausage. Saute until the onions are clear and the sausage lightly browned. Add the picante sauce and cheese. Gently fold in about 3/4ths of the cracker crumbs.
• Step 3
  Drain squash shells and place in a shallow casserole dish. Taking a soup spoon, scoop the squash mixture into the shells, heaping it nicely, but allow for a topping with the shredded cheese.
• Step 4
  Place the dish into the center of the oven and bake for about 20 minutes or until the cheese is bubbly. Serve with a green salad and enjoy!
