I really liked this recipe, but made some substitutions. I was using a huge zucchini from my uncle's garden, so I only needed one. I sliced it in half and cooked it in the oven for about 30 minutes. I didn't have saltines, so I used bread crumbs. I didn't use the squash I removed because it was mostly big seeds. I took the sausage out of the casing to cook it and actually used 1 pound of sausage. This was enough to fill both halves.I've cooked/tasted this recipe!This is a variation
