Sausage Stuffed Delicata Squash

Recipe
This little-known member of the winter squash family grows into a cream-colored cylindrical shape with green or orange stripes. Typically, each one weighs in at a little over one pound. It has thinner skin than acorn or butternut squash, making it tender and totally edible. The flesh is sweet with a color similar to that of a sweet potato.
