Ingredients
- 1 medium spaghetti squash (med-smallish)
- 1 cup spaghetti sauce (or 1 cup fire-roasted tomatoes)

How to Make

Step 1: Cut spaghetti squash in half (length wise). Scoop out seed from center. Put in baking pan cut side down. Pour in 2 cups water (enough to cover bottom of pan plus a little). Cover with foil. Bake 350 degrees for approximately one hour - depending on size. Test for doneness with a fork. Fork should pierce the squash easily. (if you like your squash less done then cook accordingly).

-
Step 5: Sautee onion in butter/oil. When onions start to brown add mushrooms. When done add in spaghetti sauce and/or fire roasted tomatoes. Heat til warm. Remove from heat.
-
Step 6: Mix in baked squash, ground beef, sausage and parmesan cheese. Transfer to baking dish. Top with 1 cup. shredded cheese.
