Time 1h45m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 12

3 medium spaghetti squash
salt and ground black pepper to taste
½ cup part-skim ricotta cheese
3 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese
1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley
1 teaspoon olive oil
½ large onion, minced
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 pound bulk Italian sausage
1 (14 ounce) can crushed tomatoes
2 tablespoons chopped fresh basil
1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
  • Cut squash in half lengthwise with a large kitchen knife. Scoop out seeds and membrane. Season lightly with salt and pepper. Place in a baking dish, cut-side down.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until soft, about 45 minutes. Remove from the oven and let cool for about 10 minutes. Keep the oven on.
  • Meanwhile, begin preparing sauce. Combine ricotta cheese, Parmesan cheese, and parsley in a medium bowl. Mix well.
  • Heat oil in a large, deep skillet over medium heat. Saute onion and garlic in the hot oil until onion is soft, 3 to 4 minutes. Add sausage and cook and stir until browned, 5 to 7 minutes, breaking up meat into small pieces as it cooks. Add tomatoes, salt, and pepper. Simmer over low heat for 25 minutes; stir in basil and simmer for 5 minutes more.
  • Remove flesh from the cooled squash by scraping with a fork, creating spaghetti strands. Reserve the shells. Drain the squash strands in a paper towel-lined colander to soak up excess liquid.
  • Toss squash strands with the tomato sauce mixture. Spoon into the 6 squash shells. Top with 1 to 2 tablespoons of the ricotta cheese mixture and 2 tablespoons mozzarella cheese. Place in the baking dish.
  • Roast in the preheated oven until heated through and cheese is melted, about 30 minutes.
