How To MakeDiet Type: Low-carb
Instructions
- Step 1: Preheat the oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit. Cut the squash in half lengthwise and scoop out the inner seeds with a spoon.
- Step 2: Rub each squash half with a little olive oil and place cut side down on a baking sheet. Roast for 40 to 50 minutes, or until it's soft when you squeeze it and lightly browned. Remove the squash from the oven and carefully flip it over, allowing the steam to escape. Let cool.
- Step 3: While the squash roasts, slice and cook your sausages in a frying pan. Set aside.
- Step 4: Use a fork to scrape the cooled squash flesh and pull the strands away from the skin. They should look like noodles.
- Serve: The rest is super easy. Plate up some of your squash noodles and top it with some tomato sauce, dollops of ricotta, and the warm sausage. Enjoy!
Recipe Notes
Note 1: Look for a firm, richly yellow spaghetti squash that's mostly free of spots and feels heavy. Avoid spaghetti squashes with cracks, soft spots or missing stems.
