We often make this side dish in the fall, after harvesting fresh squash from our garden. A hint of Asian flavor offers a different, unexpected accent. I especially enjoy the pleasant flavor combination of mozzarella and ginger. -Lydia Garcia, Gouldsboro, Maine More Rice Side Dish Recipes »

Steps:
- 1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. I cut a sliver of skin off the middle of the.

- 5. Combine cooked rice, sausage, and vegetable mix in large bowl. Add cranberries and 1/2 cup shredded cheese. Toss to combine. Add beaten egg and toss until thoroughly coated.

- **EDIT**: I did my prep while stuff was cooking, so I just put total time, start to finish (including prepping the squash), under cooking time. And another side note, I have some awesome pictures and having issues downloading them.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C).
- Poke holes in the flesh of the squash with a fork. Coat flesh with olive oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Place on a baking sheet.
- Bake in the preheated oven until flesh is tender, 40 to 50 minutes. Remove from the oven and set aside until cool enough to handle, 10 to 15 minutes. Reduce oven temperature to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
- Meanwhile, combine rice, chicken broth, and water in a rice steamer. Seal and select setting according to manufacturer's instructions; cook until tender, about 18 to 20 minutes.

Add onion, bell pepper, and celery; cook until sausage is completely browned and crumbly and vegetables are tender, 3 to 5 more minutes. Stir in sage, pumpkin pie spice, and paprika, and season with salt and pepper. Cook for another minute, then set aside.

- Bake the squash: Place a rack in the center of the oven and preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. With a sharp, sturdy chef’s knife, carefully cut the squash in half from stem to base. Scoop out and discard the stringy core and seeds. Arrange the halves cut-sides up on a rimmed baking sheet. Brush each half with 1 teaspoon olive oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Place in the oven and bake for 40 minutes, until the edges begin to wrinkle and the flesh is fork-tender. Set aside. Reduce the oven temperature to 375 degrees F.
- While the squash bakes, prepare the filling: Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the sausage. Brown the meat, breaking it apart into small pieces for 3 minutes.
- Add the mushrooms, onion, apple, salt, pepper, nutmeg, allspice, and minced garlic. Cook, stirring frequently, until the sausage is cooked through, the vegetables and apple are softened, have given up liquid, and the liquid has cooked off, about 8 additional minutes.
- When the squash is cool enough to handle, scoop out its flesh, leaving a wall all the way around that is about ¼-inch thick. Add the scooped squash to the pan with the sausage. Add the herbs and ¼ cup Parmesan. Stir to combine. Taste and adjust salt and pepper as desired.
