Description
A hearty winter squash dish with sausage, kale, pine nuts and tomatoes.
Ingredients
- 2 small spaghetti squash, cut in half
- 3 links turkey sausage (or whatever sausage you like!)
- 1/2 onion, diced (about 1 cup)
- 1/2 head kale, stemmed and coarsely chopped
- 1/2 cup parmesan cheese
- 2 tomatoes, diced
- 1/4 cup pine nuts
- salt and pepper
- 4 oz fresh mozzarella
- parsley, optional
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400F degrees.
- Drizzle spaghetti squash with a little bit of olive oil and a pinch of salt and pepper. Place squash cut side down onto baking sheet. Roast for 30-40 minutes until spaghetti squash is tender. Remove from oven and let cool before scraping squash into large bowl. Reserve squash skins.
- While the squash is roasting, sauté sausages in a large pan using a wooden spoon to break sausage up into crumbles. Remove sausage from pan and set aside. In the same pan, heat 1 tablespoon olive oil over medium heat. Add onion and sauté for 5-6 minutes until soft and translucent. Add kale and cook for 2-3 minutes more. Season with salt and pepper.
- To the spaghetti squash, add the sausage, kale and onion mixture, diced tomatoes, parmesan and pine nuts. Stir to combine.
- Divide the mixture between the 4 reserved squash skins. Cook in preheated oven for 20-25 minutes or until heated through. Top each squash boat with 1 oz of mozzarella. Cook for an additional 5 minutes until cheese is melted and bubbly. Top with chopped parsley if desired.
- Serve warm.
