Directions
1
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).

Melt butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add onion, garlic, and salt. Cook, stirring occasionally, until onion is soft, about 3 minutes. Stir in sage and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute. Stir in walnuts, pistachios, almonds, and pine nuts. Remove from the heat.
3
Combine 1/3 cup Parmesan cheese, yogurt, and egg in a large bowl. Stir in nut mixture. Divide stuffing among squash halves. Sprinkle with more Parmesan cheese.

Bake in the preheated oven until squash is tender when pierced with a fork and stuffing starts to brown, about 45 minutes. Cut each squash half in half to serve.
