Ingredientes

• 1 whole spaghetti squash
• 1 to 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 teaspoon dried Italian herbs
• Salt and freshly ground black pepper

Modo de preparo

1. 1

   Preheat the oven to 400°F. With a large sharp knife, cut the spaghetti squash in half lengthwise and scoop out the seeds and membrane. Sprinkle the squash with olive oil, dried herbs, and salt and pepper to taste. Line a rimmed baking sheet or 9x13-inch dish with foil. Place the squash cut-side down in the baking dish. Cook for 30 to 40 minutes, or until fork tender.

2. 2

   Meanwhile, heat the oil in a large sauté pan. Add the turkey sausage and cook, breaking up into small pieces, until no more pink is showing. Add the sauce and stir until combined. Bring to a simmer then reduce to low heat and cook for at least 5 minutes, or up to 30 minutes.

3. 3

   Let the squash cool slightly then use the tines of the fork to scrape out the spaghetti strands of squash. Divide the squash among four plates and top with sauce. Sprinkle with Parmesan cheese.
