The following is one of my favorite recipes to make if I am trying to cut weight as it is filling and nutritious, but does not have a huge amount of gut-busting Calories. Plus, it is super easy to make! ENJOY!
Spaghetti Squash with Sausage and Greens
What you will need
- 2-3 lbs spaghetti squash
- 1 large yellow onion, diced
- 2 cups of dark leafy greens (spinach and kale are my favorites)
- 2-3 cloves of garlic, minced
- 1-2 lbs of sausage (your pick here, I used chicken for this go round), taken out of their casing
- 2 tbsp of olive oil (in last years water bottle, of course!)
- Salt and pepper to taste
Prepare the spaghetti squash
- CAREFULLY cut the top off of the squash
- CAREFULLY cut the squash in half
- Scoop out the insides and remove the seeds
- Place the cut and scooped halves upside down on an oiled baking sheet and place in a 375 degree pre-heated oven for 40 minutes
Get the other fixings ready
- As the spaghetti squash is cooking…
- Place the diced onion and minced garlic in a medium-high preheated pan with 2 tbsp olive oil and let cook until the onions have some color to them
- Take the sausage out of their casing and crumble them into the pan, heat until cooked through
- Add your greens and let it steam on top until cooked
- Stir it all together, add salt and pepper to taste, and voila you have your flavor for the dish
Turn the squash into “spaghetti” and mix everything together
- Remove the squash from the oven, let cool for a little bit, and pick it up with an oven mitt
- Scrape the inside of the squash with a fork
- Place the “spaghetti” in a large bowl
