📝 Preparation Steps
1
Start by cutting your spaghetti squash in half lengthwise and scraping out the seeds (similar to a pumpkin). Place the squash meaty side down on a baking sheet or oven safe baking dish and cook in a 400 degree F oven for approximately ⏱️ 45 minutes to soften.

While the spaghetti squash is cooking make your filling. Heat the oil in a large skillet and brown your sausage.

When the sausage is cooked through and no longer pink, add the spinach, garlic, and tomatoes and cook until the spinach has wilted; then add the cream cheese and stir until it has blended in with the sausage mixture. Remove from heat and cover until you're ready to add the squash.

Using a fork, scrape the squash in long front to back motion creating "spaghetti" and add the vegetable to the sausage mixture. Do this for both halves; then mix the ingredients all together. Season with salt and pepper to your liking.

Finally add the mixture back into the two squash halves, top with the shredded Mozzarella cheese and place under the broiler for ⏱️ 3-4 minutes until the cheese has melted. Garnish with chopped basil or parsley and serve hot.
