This is the recipe that makes people who’ve never ventured a nibble of spaghetti squash wonder how they shamefully wasted so many years of spaghetti-squash-eating-opportunities.

- spaghetti squash - olive oil - salt - black pepper - parmesan cheese - garlic - Italian turkey sausage

INGREDIENTS:

Split squash in half lengthwise and remove seeds and membranes with a spoon. Brush the flesh of each squash half with olive oil, then sprinkle with salt and black pepper.

1

Place squash, skin side up, in a glass baking dish. Microwave on full power for 15-20 minutes, until tops give under pressure when gently poked.

2

Meanwhile, while squash is cooking, heat 1 teaspoon oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Cook onion and garlic, stirring often so garlic doesn't burn.

3

Add sausage and cook until no longer pink, stirring to crumble. Add tomatoes, oregano, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/8 teaspoon black pepper, and simmer until heated through.

4

Remove from heat and stir in basil. Pour sausage mixture over spaghetti squash and serve.

5

This recipe can yield anywhere between about 6-8 cups, depending on the exact size of your squash.
