Ingredients

• olive oil cooking spray [I use my EVO]
• 1 lb of spicy Italian turkey sausage, casings removed
• 1/4 onion, diced
• 2 cloves of garlic, minced
• 1 1/4 cup of ricotta cheese
• 1 egg
• 1 1/2 cups of homemade tomato sauce
• 1 cooked spaghetti squash (about 4 cups of squash)
• 2/3 cup of mozzarella cheese
• 1 T parmesan cheese
• fresh basil
• salt and pepper

Directions

• Spray a pan with olive oil cooking spray, saute onion until soft. Add turkey sausage and brown until cooked through. Add garlic and cook for an additional minute. Remove from heat.
• Discard seeds from the squash and use a fork to remove your spaghetti. To remove excess moisture from the squash, place it in a clean kitchen towel and give it a squeeze. Then season the squash with a little salt and pepper.
• Stir an egg, parmesan cheese, and a sprinkle of pepper into the ricotta.
• Preheat your oven to 375. Spray a casserole dish with a olive oil cooking spray and begin the layering process.
• First, spoon about half of your sauce on the bottom of the casserole dish.
• Next, add the cooked sausage. Layer spaghetti squash over the sausage then add the rest of the sauce and some fresh chopped basil.
• Finally, top sauce with the ricotta cheese mixture and then add the shredded mozzarella.
• Bake until cheese is melty and bubbly - about 15-20 mins. To brown the cheese, broil on low for 5-10 minutes at the end, but watch carefully. It sneaks up on you!
• Remove from oven and let sit for a few minutes. If there is excess water at the bottom of your pan, you can carefully try to drain it out from the corner of the pan or serve with a slotted spoon.
• Garnish with fresh basil before serving!
