Main Ingredients

  • 1 Spaghetti Squash medium-sized
  • 1 lb Italian Sausage casings removed
  • 1 Onion diced
  • 2 cloves Garlic minced
  • 1 cup Marinara Sauce
  • 1 teaspoon Olive Oil

Instructions 

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Cut the spaghetti squash in half lengthwise and scoop out the seeds.

  5. Stir in the marinara sauce and let it simmer for a few minutes. Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper.
  6. When the squash is done, use a fork to scrape out the strands into a large bowl. Toss with the sausage mixture.
  7. Serve hot, topped with grated Parmesan cheese if desired.
