Ingredients

How to Make Baked Sausages and Gratin Pumpkin
Start by cleaning the pumpkin, removing the skin and seeds inside, then cut it into pieces and transfer it to a baking pan lined with parchment paper. Season the pumpkin with salt, pepper, a drizzle of extra virgin olive oil, and breadcrumbs.
Add the Luganega sausages and two sprigs of rosemary, garlic, and a sprinkling of breadcrumbs.
Bake at 375°F for about 7 minutes; every oven is different, so check the cooking often. The sausage should be well browned. The pumpkin will have a soft texture, but to gratinate it, I recommend removing the sausage as soon as it is cooked and continuing to cook the pumpkin in grill mode for another 10 minutes.
Remove your baked sausages and pumpkin au gratin from the oven and enjoy hot!
Storage and Tips
Baked sausages and gratin pumpkin can be stored in the fridge until the next day. Enhance the preparation by adding other seasonal vegetables according to your taste, such as onions, and potatoes are perfect.
