This is so good. My whole family loves it, including my picky 10 year old daughter. I got this recipe from Better Homes & Gardens magazine.

1 medium spaghetti squash (2 1/4 lb)
12 ounces Italian sausage
1 1/2 cups mushrooms, sliced
1 green peppers or 1 red pepper, chopped
1/3 cup onion, finely chopped
3 garlic cloves, minced
1 (4 1/4 ounce) can chopped black olives, drained
1/2 teaspoon italian seasoning
1 1/2 cups spaghetti sauce
1 1/2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese

Steps:

  • Halve squash crosswise; remove seeds. Place cut sides down in 2-quart baking dish. Add 1/4 C water. Cover with plastic wrap. Microwave on high 13-15 minutes or until squash is tender when pierced with fork; rearrange once for even baking.

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
  • Scrape pulp from squash. Wipe out baking dish; coat with non-stick cooking spray. Spread half of the squash in dish. Add half the sausage mixture and half the olives. Sprinkle with seasoning and 1/8 teaspoon black pepper. Top with half of the spaghetti sauce and cheese. Top with remaining squash, sausage, olives, and spaghetti sauce. Bake for 30 minutes. Sprinkle with remaining cheese. Bake 5 minutes more. Let stand 10 minutes. Sprinkle with parsley and serve.
