4 Chicken sausage links, sliced into coins (I used a precooked spicy Italian sausage)
juice of 1 lemon
¼ cup chopped fresh basil
2 tbs parmesan cheese
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Cut off the stems of the spaghetti squashes. Slice each squash in half lengthwise. Using a spoon, scoop out the seeds from each half. Rub ½ tsp of olive oil on each half and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Place in the oven, flesh side up, and roast for 30 minutes. Alternatively, you can use a microwave to cook the squash. Place one squash half, open side down, in a large microwave-safe bowl. Fill bowl with water until it touches the squash. Microwave on high for about 6 minutes. Repeat with the second squash half.
While the squash is roasting, add the remaining 1 tsp of olive oil in a large sauté pan over medium heat. Once heated, add the onion and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Sauté the onions for about 2 minutes until softened. Add the garlic and sauté for another minute. Add the chopped tomato and sauté for 2-3 minutes. Add the chicken sausage and cook for about 2 minutes until heated through. Take mixture off the heat and set aside.
Take the squash out of the oven and let it cool for about 10 minutes. Using a fork, scrape the spaghetti strands out of each half and place equal amounts into 4 bowls. Sprinkle each bowl of squash with salt and pepper. Squeeze the fresh lemon juice into a small cup or dish and pour evenly among the 4 bowls. Toss each bowl of spaghetti to evenly coat with the seasoning and lemon juice.
In the sauté pan, divide the sausage mixture into quarters and scoop each portion into the 4 bowls. Sprinkle each bowl with freshly chopped basil and Parmesan cheese.
