  • Step 1

    Preheat oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit.

  • Step 2

    Cut spaghetti squash in half, season with some olive oil, salt and pepper. Bake face down on a parchment paper lined baking tray for 40 minutes at 400 degrees.

  • Step 3

    While the spaghetti squash is cooking (or near the end of the cook time), slice chicken sausage *(and any other desired veggies such as green pepper, mushrooms, onions, eggplant, zucchini) and sauté in a pan with 1/2 tablespoon olive oil and minced garlic. Cook until browned. Set aside.

  • Step 4

    When squash is cooked, turn over and using a fork (and possibly an oven mitt to hold squash), pull back the “spaghetti” strands. Place them in a bowl until both squash halves are empty.

  • Step 5

    To the spaghetti squash, add marinara sauce, cooked chicken sausage mixture, 1/2 tablespoon olive oil, oregano, basil, salt, 1 cup shredded cheese, 1 cup Parmesan cheese. Mix well.

  • Step 6

    Scoop the mixture evenly into the two halves of the spaghetti squash. Top with remaining 1/4 cup of each cheese mix.

  • Step 7

    Bake at 400 degrees for 20 minutes. Remove from oven and enjoy! (We love it with crusty garlic bread!)
