Here is a link to a very nice recipe I have made several times. However, for me, it's usually a

pretty simple method, not really a recipe-- I like it with just a simple tomato sauce with aromatics, peppers, mushrooms, etc.

Or tossed with olive oil, minced garlic, basil, olives, roasted pinenuts, and arugla or fresh spinach just before serving, while it's still hot.

You could add sausage to either of these?

Enjoy,
Nan

REC: SPAGHETTI SQUASH WITH SAUSAGE FILLING

SPAGHETTI SQUASH WITH SAUSAGE FILLING


1 3 3/4- to 4-pound spaghetti squash, halved lengthwise, seeded
1 pound bulk pork sausage ( I use chicken sausage)
1 cup chopped green bell pepper
1 cup chopped onion
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 1/2 cups marinara sauce
1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese


Wrap squash halves in plastic wrap. Cook 1 at a time in microwave on high until tender, about 8 minutes. Pierce plastic to allow steam to escape. Cool. Meanwhile, sauté sausage, bell pepper, onion and garlic in heavy large skillet over medium-high heat until sausage browns and vegetables are tender, breaking up sausage with back of spoon, about 12 minutes. Mix in marinara sauce.
Using fork, pull out squash strands from shells, leaving shells intact. Mix squash strands into sausage mixture. Season filling to taste with salt and pepper. Spoon filling into squash shells. (Can be prepared 1 day ahead. Cover; refrigerate.)

Preheat oven to 400°F. Arrange filled squash halves on baking sheet. Sprinkle each with 1/4 cup Parmesan. Bake uncovered until heated through, about 20 minutes (30 minutes if previously chilled). Cut each squash half in two and serve.

(I use a lot of garlic pepper in this one)
