Squash is one of my favorite vegetables and I love using the squash as a form of spaghetti. This recipe combines classic Italian flavors with a modern spin by using the squash instead of traditional pasta. The melted cheese adds flavor and makes the meal very comforting: perfect for cold weather. This recipe makes 2 servings!
Ingredients
- 1 spaghetti squash
- 2 medium sized Italian sausages
- 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- handful of spinach
- 1/2 white onion
- 1/3 cup cherry tomatoes
- portobello mushrooms
- 1 cup marinara sauce
- olive oil for cooking
Directions
- preheat the oven to 350F
- cut the spaghetti squash in half and take out the seeds then microwave each half for 9 minutes in a dish with 1/4 cup of water
- after both halves are cooked fork out the insides of the squash to create the “spaghetti”
- cut the sausages into bite sized pieces
- heat tbsp olive oil in a pan then added in the 2 sausages and cook through
- after cooked through I added the spinach, diced onion, cherry tomatoes, and mushrooms into the pan to sauté
- combine the marinara with the sausage and veggies then add into the hallow squashes
- top each with 1/4 cup of shredded mozzarella cheese and cook for 6-8 minutes in the oven until the cheese is melted
