Ingredients
- 2 Acorn Squash
- 1 Onion, diced

Meanwhile, heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add onion and red pepper, and sauté until soft and lightly browned, about 8 minutes. Add garlic and sauté for an additional minute.
Stir in Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Add cooked rice and mix until everything is evenly combined. Remove from heat and stir in Parmesan cheese.
Spoon the rice mixture into the squash halves. Return to the oven and roast for an additional 15 minutes. Serve warm and enjoy!
