Summer Garden Spaghetti
Directions
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
- Cut spaghetti squash in half and scrape out seeds. Discard.
- Place squash, cut side down, on a greased baking sheet. Bake for about 30-40 minutes or until squash pulls away in strands with a fork. Set aside, keeping warm.
- In a large skillet heat 3 Tbsp olive oil over medium high heat. Add cut tomatoes and slivered onions to the skillet. Sprinkle in thyme leaves, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Stir together to coat tomatoes and onions with olive oil and seasonings. Turn heat to medium. Saute until tomatoes collapse and release their juices. About 15-20 minutes. Stir often.
- Add in browned sausage crumbles and mix well. Set aside keeping warm.
- To serve use a fork to pull spaghetti squash strands away from the shell of the squash. Divide “spaghetti” squash evenly among serving dishes and top with hot tomato-sausage sauce and a sprinkling of Parmesan cheese.
Notes
Spaghetti Squash is readily found in most supermarkets across the U.S. They are low in carbohydrates, contrasting with pasta. When baked, they soften and the strands of the squash can be used like any spaghetti noodle. Baking the squash brings out a nutty flavor that works well with any pasta sauce. Just another way to eat healthier and serve your family delicious meals.
