Ingredients

2 medium spaghetti squash, halved lengthwise and seeded
1 tablespoon oil, or as needed
1 pound bulk pork sausage
2 tablespoons chopped walnuts
1 teaspoon dried sage
1 teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon ground black pepper

Steps:

Place spaghetti squash halves, cut-side down, in a microwaveable dish. Cover with parchment paper and microwave until soft, 18 to 20 minutes. Remove and let cool for 5 minutes. Scrape out spaghetti squash strands with a fork and transfer to a bowl.
Meanwhile, heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat and cook sausage until browned and crumbly, about 5 minutes. Add walnuts and cook for 3 minutes. Season with sage, salt, and pepper. Add spaghetti squash strands and mix until well combined. Cook for 1 more minute until heated through.
