Recipes Meat and Poultry Pork Sausage- and Pear-Stuffed Acorn Squash 4.9 (7) 7 Reviews 5 Photos This main course dish is a real beauty! Acorn squash halves are roasted and deliciously filled with a savory sausage and pear saute. The natural sweet flavors from the pear and squash are perfectly coupled with the warm taste of sausage and sage. I've written the recipe for 2 people, but you could easily double or even triple the filling for more squash halves!
