Sausage Peppers And Spaghetti Squash Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. With a fork, pierce squash halves several times. Rub the inside of the halves with 1 tablespoon olive oil. Sprinkle with salt and pepper.
• On a foil-lined, rimmed baking sheet, arrange squash, flesh side down. Bake 45 to 50 minutes or until very tender.
• Meanwhile, in a 12-inch skillet, heat remaining 1 tablespoon oil over medium heat. Cook and stir sausage, red pepper, and onion 6 to 8 minutes or until sausage is browned and pepper and onion are crisp-tender.
• Cool baked squash slightly. Shred insides with a fork. Add spaghetti squash to skillet and cook and stir until heated through, about 2 minutes.
• Just before serving, carefully stir in pesto and sprinkle with Parmesan cheese.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Halve spaghetti squash and place cut side down on buttered baking sheet. Bake for 40 minutes or until tender. Cool to the point of being able to handle, remove and discard seeds then shred pulp gently with a fork so that strands resemble spaghetti noodles. Reduce oven temperature to 350 degrees.
• While squash bakes, cook and crumble bratwurst in a skillet over medium heat. Add peppers, onion and garlic and continue cooking until vegetables are crisp tender.

Mix in 3/4 cup Parmesan and transfer to a greased 9×13 or oval 2 quart casserole dish. Bake uncovered for 30 minutes, topping with remaining Parmesan for the last five minutes of baking time.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Place squash, cut sides down, on baking sheet.
• Bake squash in the preheated oven until it starts to soften, about 25 minutes. Reduce oven temperature to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) and continue baking until easily pierced with a knife, about 25 minutes more. Remove from the oven and cool until easily handled.
• Cook sausage in a large skillet over medium heat until browned, about 5 minutes; remove from skillet.
