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 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.

Simmer over low heat for 25 minutes; stir in basil and simmer for 5 minutes more.
