Stuffed Yellow Squash

Ingredients

Filling

• 4 ounces cream cheese, softened
• 1/4 cup milk
• 4 ounces Italian sausage, cooked, drained and crumbled
• 2 tablespoons onions, chopped fine
• 2 tablespoons bell peppers, chopped fine
• 2 tablespoons carrots, chopped fine
• 2 mushrooms, chopped (optional)
• 1 garlic clove, minced
• 1 teaspoon fresh basil, chopped
• 2 tablespoons soft bread cubes (or crumbs)

Other Ingredients Needed

• 2 yellow squash
• 1/2 cup spaghetti sauce
• 1/4 cup parmesan cheese, grated

Directions

1. 1

   Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Mix cream cheese and milk in large microwaveable bowl. Microwave on high 1 minute or until cream cheese is melted and mixture is blended.

2. 2

   Add remaining filling ingredients. Toss to coat and set aside. Take some aluminum foil, and crimple to make a log about 1" high. Use this to support the 'neck' of the yellow squash so they will lay in a horizontal position in your baking dish. Set aside.

3. 3

   Cut Squash (or zucchinin) in half lengthwise. Using a spoon, scoop out seeds to create a boat. Divide filling equally amongst the boats.

4. 4

   Place boats in a shallow baking dish. Spread 2 Tbsp spaghetti sauce over each boat. Top with a sprinkling of parmesan cheese and bake for 30 minutes.
