Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Preheat oven to 400°f

  2. 2

    Cut squash in half lengthwise, scoop out seeds. Season with salt and pepper. Bake one hour on a cookie sheet, cut side down, until soft.

  3. 3

    In a bowl, combine the cottage cheese, parmesan cheese, and basil.

  4. 4

    In a large skillet, sauté the onions and garlic in the olive oil. Add sausage and cook, breaking up into small pieces until browned and cooked through.

  5. 5

    Add the crushed tomatoes and salt and pepper to taste. Cover, and reduce heat to low, and simmer about 20 minutes. Add the basil.

  6. 6

    When squash is cooked, let cool about 10 minutes. When it's cool enough to handle, use a fork to remove the flesh, reserving the shells.

  7. 7

    Place the spaghetti squash on paper toweling to soak up any excess liquid. Then mix with HALF the sauce. Divide the squash mixture evenly between the shells.

  8. 8

    Top the filled shells with remaining sauce, cottage cheese mixture, and mozzarella cheese, dividing each evenly among your "boats".

  9. 9

    Bake in the oven for 20-30 minutes until hot and cheese is melted.

    Delicious!
