How to cook spaghetti squash

Here’s how you do it. First, cut each spaghetti squash in half lengthwise, then rub insides of it with 2 tablespoons olive oil and season with salt and pepper.

Place halves, cut sides down, in a baking dish and bake them at 375 degrees F for 40 minutes.

How to make spaghetti squash stuffing

While spaghetti squash is baking, cook sausage, garlic, spices in the skillet on the stove top with a little bit of olive oil for 10 minutes until sausage is fully cooked.

I used ground sausage patties by breaking them apart with a spoon as they were cooking. Add tomatoes at the very end as they will soften very quickly.

Next, add chopped parsley and mix everything well.

Once squash is baked and cool enough to handle, shred spaghetti squash with a fork, leaving the strands in the shells:

    I made this recipe tonight. I skipped the chili garlic sauce and added a teaspoon of chili powder instead (as we are spice wimps at my house). It was so good and different. My 3 & 5 year old both liked and ate it as well.
