Preheat oven to 350u00b0F. Brush the interior of squash with olive oil and sprinkle salt on top. Crank a few good cranks of black pepper on top as well. Flip upside down and cover with foil. Roast for 45 minutes or until fork tender.

For the stuffing, cook sausage in skillet. Reserve 1 tablespoon of sausage fat. Drain on paper towels and be sure to press more paper towels on top to soak up any residual fat. Cook diced onions in the reserved fat until translucent. Allow both sausage and onions to cool to room temperature.
