"So simple it almost fooled my husband who, despite not liking squash, ate all of this & joked he could eat my portion as well."

ingredients

1 spaghetti squash, small
1 cup spaghetti sauce (I used tomato and basil)
2 links Italian sausage
2 teaspoons olive oil
¹⁄₄ teaspoon salt & pepper
3 teaspoons parmesan cheese

directions

Preheat oven to 375.
Carefully split the squash lengthwise & remove all seeds & other innards.
Rub each cavity with olive oil.
Salt & pepper each side, just a little bit will do.
Place cut side down on baking sheet & bake for ~40 minutes or until fork will pierce the squash easily.
While you have the oven open for the squash, pop the sausage onto an oven-proof dish & bake it at the same temperature, turning at the 20 minute point or cook it on the stove top.
Let squash cool, baking sausage longer if necessary.
Take a fork & rake the flesh from the squash into a separate bowl.
Combine with spaghetti sauce.
Once sausage is done cooking, slice into rounds. ~8 slices per link.
Combine sausage with squash & sauce.
Spoon the mixture back into the squash shells & top with Parmesan cheese.
Broil 1-2 minutes or until cheese begins to brown.
Allow to cool for a few minutes & enjoy.
