Cut squash in half lengthwise (microwave the squash whole for 3 minutes before cutting — helps to soften it up and makes it easier to cut)
Drizzle squash halves with olive oil and season with salt and pepper
Place squash face down on cooking sheet and bake at 400° for 20 to 25 minutes
While squash cooks, make sauce. Start by browning up sausage in large skillet
Once sausage begins to brown, add in onions, garlic, and chopped herbs. Cook a few more minutes until onions are translucent
Pour in sauce and allow to simmer for about 10 minutes. Mix in ricotta (you can actually add some Parmesan here too, the more cheese, the better!)
Pour sauce/meat mixture into squash halves. Top with cheese and thyme sprig and put back in oven for 10 minutes until cheese is bubbly and melty. You can also stick under the broiler for a few minutes to speed things along
Top with Parmesan and enjoy!
