Spaghetti Squash Alfredo With Sausage And Walnuts Recipes

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. Add onion, celery, and carrot to the skillet; cook and stir in sausage drippings until starting to soften, about 5 minutes. Stir cooked sausage, diced tomatoes, chicken broth, tomato paste, and garlic into the skillet. Simmer sauce until flavors combine, about 15 minutes.
• Use a fork to scrape insides of squash into spaghetti strands. Transfer strands to a 9x13-inch casserole dish. Spoon sauce over strands and stir to combine. Cover with mozzarella cheese.
• Bake in the preheated oven oven until bubbly and golden brown, about 25 minutes.

Steps:

• Place spaghetti squash halves, cut-side down, in a microwaveable dish. Cover with parchment paper and microwave until soft, 18 to 20 minutes. Remove and let cool for 5 minutes. Scrape out spaghetti squash strands with a fork and transfer to a bowl.
• Meanwhile, heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat and cook sausage until browned and crumbly, about 5 minutes. Add walnuts and cook for 3 minutes. Season with sage, salt, and pepper. Add spaghetti squash strands and mix until well combined. Cook for 1 more minute until heated through.

Steps:

• Slice spaghetti squash in half lengthwise. Scoop out the seeds with a spoon and clean as you would a pumpkin. Completely submerge 1 half at a time, in a large pot of boiling water and cook for about 20 minutes until the inside is just tender to a fork and pulls apart in strands. (Cook's Note: It is better to undercook if you're not sure.) Remove, drain and cool with cold water or ice bath to stop the cooking.
• Scoop out the cooked squash from its skin with a spoon as you would an avocado and discard the skin. Use a fork to fluff and separate the squash into "spaghetti"- like strands. You can also use your hands. Reserve the separated cooked squash and dip with a strainer into boiling water to reheat just before serving.
• Melt half the butter in a medium saucepan over medium-high heat. Add cream and reduce for about 2 minutes, then add garlic and cheese and whisk quickly, heating through. Stir in the rest of the butter and parsley. Place spaghetti squash in a large serving bowl, and pour Alfredo sauce over squash. Garnish with basil and tomatoes. Serve and enjoy!

Steps:

• Place spaghetti squash cut-side down in a microwave-safe dish. Pour in 1/4 cup water. Microwave on high until easily pierced with a fork, about 7 minutes.
• Scrape insides of squash into spaghetti strands with a fork. Transfer to a bowl; add butter, salt, and pepper.
• Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add garlic; cook and stir until fragrant, about 1 minute. Add to bowl with spaghetti squash. Add walnuts and a pinch of salt to the skillet; cook and stir until toasted, about 1 minute. Transfer to a small bowl.
