Ingredients

1 spaghetti squash (1.5 lbs.) ($1.19)

1/2 lb. Italian ground sausage (sweet or spicy) ($3.00)

1/2 cup shredded mozzarella ($0.63)

1/4 cup Parmesan cheese ($0.50)

1/2 Tbsp olive oil ($0.06)

Directions

Set a rack in the center of your oven and preheat it to 400°F. Slice the spaghetti squash in half, from tip to end. Scoop out the seeds in its central cavity. Brush each half with the cooking oil.

Divide the sausage equally between the two spaghetti squash halves.

Roast for 30 minutes or until the sausage reaches an internal temperature of 160°. Remove from the oven, but keep your oven on.*

Use two forks to separate the sausage into small chunks and to separate the squash into strands. Mix it all together.

Combine the cheeses.

Divide the cheese mixture equally between the halves and roast for another 10 minutes until the cheese is bubbly and begins to caramelize. Enjoy!
