Ingredients
- 1 medium spaghetti squash
- 1 pound Italian sausage (you can choose spicy or mild, it’s all good!)
- 1 bell pepper, chopped
- 1 small onion, diced
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 can (14.5 oz) diced tomatoes
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Fresh parsley for garnish
Instructions
- First things first, preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Now, take that spaghetti squash and slice it in half lengthwise. Remove the seeds and drizzle a bit of olive oil on the insides. Sprinkle with salt and pepper. Put them cut-side down on a baking sheet and roast for about 30-40 minutes until fork-tender.
- While that squash is baking, let’s get to the good stuff! In a large skillet, cook the Italian sausage over medium heat until it’s brown and cooked through. Use a wooden spoon to break it apart as it cooks.
- Add in your onion and bell pepper to the skillet. Sauté for about 5 minutes until they’re tender. Add the garlic and sauté for another minute—trust me, the aroma is going to be heavenly!
- Next, add the diced tomatoes and Italian seasoning to the skillet. Let that simmer for about 10 minutes so all those flavors party together. Season with salt and pepper to your liking.
- Once your squash is done, use a fork to scrape the insides out into spaghetti-like strands, and toss it into the sausage mixture. Mix everything up and let it cook together for about 3 minutes on low heat.
- Serve it hot, garnished with fresh parsley, and enjoy every single bite!
So there you have it! A comfort food classic that’s healthy and satisfying. It’s easy to make, and definitely a crowd-pleaser. Share it with the fam, or enjoy it all to yourself—no judgment here!
