SPAGHETTI SQUASH MEDLEY

SPAGHETTI SQUASH MEDLEY image

Yield 8 or more

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 spaghetti squash
1 26 oz jar of your favorite fresh tomato sauce (my current fave is by Lucini Italia)
1 green pepper
1 red onion
1 cucumber
1 package of mild italian chicken sausages (4-5)

Steps:

Cut small incisions in the outer skin of the spaghetti squash to release steam. Place on a plate in the microwave, and heat on high for approximately 6 minutes. Then, turn the squash over and microwave for an additional 6 minutes on high. This time works well for a mid-size squash, adjust the time if necessary. If the chicken sausage is fully cooked, it can be opened and sliced into thin rounds. Or, if you prefer, grill/saute the sausage for more flavor. While it cools slightly, slice green pepper into strips, cucumber into half wedges, and onions into small strips. Slice Squash in half, scoop out the seeds with a spoon. Following the natural grain of the squash, scrape the sides of the squash with a fork to get your "spaghetti". Toss all ingredients in a large bowl. Chill and serve.
