Roasted Spaghetti Squash with Sausage

Ingredients

• 1 Spaghetti Squash ((@3lbs or 1.35 kg))
• 2 Tablespoons Olive Oil (, divided)
• 1/2 large onion (, thickly sliced)
• 3 cloves Garlic (, crushed or finely minced)
• 1 pound uncooked Sausage ((any kind you prefer))
• 1 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
• 1 Tablespoon finely chopped fresh Oregano ((or 1 teaspoon dried oregano), or other complimentary herb to the sausage)
• Kosher Salt (, to taste)
• fresh Cracked Black Pepper (, to taste)

Instructions

1. 1

   Preheat Oven to 375°F. Oil a sheet pan with 1 Tablespoon of olive oil.

2. 2

   Slice spaghetti squash in half lengthwise. (Kitchen Tip: Use the tip of the knife to first pierce and get the cut started. Once you get the first cut started the rest of the squash should slice easily.) Scoop out the seeds and strands, then place cut side down on the prepared sheet pan.

3. 3

   Bake for 45 minutes, or until the squash flesh separates easily into strands with a fork. When cool enough to handle, finish loosening and removing the "spaghetti" from the shells and set aside.

4. 4

   Pinch and pull small balls of sausage out of the casing (or make small balls from bulk sausage). Continue making small balls out of all of the sausage.

5. 5

   Heat a large saute pan over medium heat. Heat remaining 1 Tablespoon of olive oil in pan, then add onions and garlic. Cook until soft, stirring every 30 seconds, then add sausage. Cook untouched until bottom side of sausage starts to brown, then stir. Continue cooking and stirring occasionally until the sausage is cooked through (@ 2-3 minutes depending on heat and size of sausage).Add spaghetti squash strands to the sausage and continue cooking until heated (usually less than a minute.)

6. 6

   Remove from heat. Toss in paremsan cheese and oregano. Season with salt and fresh cracked pepper. Serve immediately.
