Time 1h

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 medium spaghetti squash
cooking spray
1 tablespoon olive oil
½ pound bulk Italian sausage
1 medium zucchini, chopped
1 medium red bell pepper, chopped
½ medium onion, chopped
1 clove garlic, minced
salt and ground black pepper to taste
1 (28 ounce) jar pasta sauce
½ cup shredded Parmesan cheese
½ cup shredded mozzarella cheese

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.

This casserole was a little bland for my taste. I think it could have used more seasoning.
