Steps:
- Pierce squash a few times with a very sharp knife. Place squash in a microwave-safe bowl and microwave on high power until squash is tender and a knife can easily poke through the skin, 10 to 13 minutes. Let squash rest, undisturbed, for 10 minutes.
- Meanwhile, preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Spray an 8-inch casserole dish with cooking spray.
- Heat oil in a skillet over medium heat; stir in sausage, zucchini, bell pepper, onion, and garlic. Saute, stirring occasionally, until veggies are tender and sausage is crumbly and brown, 5 to 7 minutes.
- Cut open squash and remove and discard all seeds. Scrape out the flesh with a fork and add to the sausage and veggie mixture. Season with salt and pepper and cook over medium heat for 5 minutes. Stir in pasta sauce and transfer to the prepared casserole dish. Top with shredded Parmesan and mozzarella cheeses.
- Bake in the preheated oven until heated through and cheeses are melted, about 15 minutes.

When my mom and I cooked spaghetti squash with meat sauce, all we could do was grin and say "Wow!" It's fun to separate the noodle-like strands from the squash shell, but eating it is the best part! -Lina Vainauskas, Shaw Air Force Base, South Carolina

SPAGHETTI SQUASH SPAGHETTI WITH MEAT SAUCE
A personal recipe I made using spaghetti squash and combining ingredients from at least three other recipes I have used in the past. This recipe is extremely good and a favorite for everyone I have made it for. It has a little kick to it, not too spicy but not mild.

- Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Poke 8 to 10 holes in the spaghetti squash; place whole in a baking pan.
- Bake in the preheated oven until squash is easily pierced with a knife, about 25 minutes. Remove and let cool until easily handled.

SPAGHETTI SQUASH WITH SUPER THICK BOLOGNESE
This was a Rachael Ray recipe a few weeks ago. I made it last night and it was SO GOOD! A few notes, though. She said it takes 45 minutes- 1 hour to roast the spaghetti squash. It took WAY longer. Next time I would start it in the microwave and cook it halfway. Then I would add the olive oil and cheese and finish it off in the oven. Once the squash was done, I spooned in the meat sauce, covered it with a bunch of the grated romano and put it back in the oven to brown the cheese. MMMMMM! Also, if you have a non stick pan, then you don't need the full 2 Tbl of olive oil to brown the pancetta. Prep time includes the roasting of the squash.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 400ºF.
- Place the spaghetti squash halves, cut side up, onto a baking sheet. Drizzle with 2 tablespoons EVOO, salt and pepper. Turn the squash over so they're cut side down and roast until the flesh is tender, about 45 minutes to an hour. Once cooked, use a fork to loosen the squash strands up. Drizzle with 2 tablespoons EVOO, ground black pepper, and a sprinkle of cheese. Reserve squash in the shells.
- While the squash is roasting, place a large skillet over medium-high heat with 2 turns of the pan of EVOO, about 2 tablespoons. Add the pancetta to the pan and cook until crispy, about 5 minutes. Add the sirloin to the pan and cook until golden brown, 6-7 minutes. Add the carrots, onion and garlic to the pan and cook until the veggies are tender, about 5 minutes.
- Season everything with salt and pepper, and add the tomato paste, cooking it until golden brown and aromatic, about 1 minute. Add the red wine and beef stock scraping the bottom for any bits that may be stuck, and cook sauce until thickened and slightly reduced, about 5 minutes.
- To serve, ladle meat sauce on top of each squash half and garnish each with fresh basil, parsley and additional Pecorino-Romano cheese.
