Instructions to make Roasted Acorn Squash with Sausage, Farro, Spinach, and Feta:

5. While the squash is roasting, cook the farro.
6. In a medium saucepan, boil 2 cups of water with a pinch of salt. Rinse and place the farro in the boiling water, cover and reduce heat to a simmer. At about 30 minutes, check for doneness. They should be chewy but not tough. If not quite done, continue cooking and checking every 5 minutes. You may need to cook them up to 25 minutes longer depending on the variety you get.
7. In a medium sauce pan, brown the pork sausage, drain the fat, and set aside.
8. In a large sauté pan on medium heat, add 2 tablespoons of olive oil and sauté garlic, shallots, and fennel for 8 minutes.
9. Add the sausage to the pan and mix in for a few more minutes.
10. Add the farro and combine for a few minutes.
11. Sprinkle 3/4 of the feta into the mixture until melted. (reserve 1/4 of the crumbles to sprinkle on top)
12. Add spinach and let it wilt into the mixture.
13. Taste and season with salt and pepper.
