Preheat the oven to 450°F. Wash and dry the fresh produce. Using a sharp, sturdy knife, carefully halve the squash lengthwise. Using a spoon, scoop out and discard the pulp and seeds. Drizzle the cut sides with olive oil; season with salt and pepper.Line a sheet pan with parchment paper (or foil). Transfer the prepared squash to a sheet pan, cut side down. Roast 25 to 30 minutes, or until the skin is lightly browned and the flesh easily pulls away from the skin. Carefully transfer the roasted squash to a work surface to cool slightly.

Meanwhile, halve the bread horizontally. Peel 1 clove of garlic; using a zester, finely grate into a paste (or use the small side of a box grater). Place in a bowl. Add 2 tablespoons of olive oil and season with salt and pepper; stir to combine. Pick the rosemary leaves off the stems; roughly chop  the leaves. Season the ricotta with salt and pepper; stir to combine. Grate the fontina on the large side of a box grater.

Continue to cook, stirring frequently and breaking the meat apart with a spoon, 1 to 2 minutes, or until browned. Add the spinach. Cook, stirring frequently, 1 to 2 minutes, or until slightly wilted. Add the tomatoes (carefully, as the liquid may splatter); season with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, 2 to 3 minutes, or until combined and the sausage is cooked through.
