Sausage, Squash, and Cornbread Gratin

Break out of your butternut squash rut and give kabocha (a.k.a. Japanese pumpkin) a try. It has a vibrant orange flesh and dense, velvety texture that works equally well in sweet or savory recipes. It’s typically available in grocery stores, but if you can’t find kabocha, a medium butternut will still do just fine.
