We all know that a jar of Bertolli® sauce is a quick and easy way to serve up a delicious pasta meal in a flash. But, that tasty sauce is also the perfect ingredient for dozens and dozens of amazing recipes too!
I’ll often use it to simplify and reduce my time in the kitchen. When a recipe calls for canned tomatoes, I just pop open a jar of Bertolli® sauce instead. The sauce is crafted with high quality ingredients like vine-ripened tomatoes, lightly cooked in olive oil and spices, so I don’t have to bother gathering and measuring out seasonings. It’s so quick and convenient, I get great taste with no effort at all.

Sausage Stuffed Acorn Squash
Ingredients
- 2 large acorn squash
- olive oil
- 16 oz Italian Sausage - casing removed (if needed)
- 1/2 cup green bell pepper - chopped
- 1/4 cup red bell pepper - chopped
- 1 small onion - chopped
- 1- 1/2 cups Bertolli® Marinara Sauce
- 1/2 cup parmesan cheese - divided
- chopped parsley - for garnish
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400º F.
- Slice a small piece off the top and bottom of the acorn squash to allow it to sit evenly without rolling. Then, cut the acorn squash in half, remove seeds and brush the edible portion of the squash with olive oil.
- Place the prepared squash, oiled (flesh) side down on a parchment lined baking sheet. Roast in the preheated oven until fork-tender, approximately 25 - 30 minutes.
- Meanwhile, brown the sausage with the onion and bell pepper in a large skillet over medium high heat, crumbling and breaking meat while stirring.
- Drain any excess fat then add the Bertolli® Marinara Sauce and cook until heated through, approximately 3 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in half of the parmesan cheese.
- Once the squash is tender, use tongs to flip so that the bowl-side of the squash is upright.
- Divide the filling and spoon into the prepared squash, piling the meat mixture high.
- Sprinkle with the remaining parmesan cheese and broil for 2 - 3 minutes, until melted.
- Garnish with additional cheese and chopped parsley, if desired.
