Spaghetti Squash Marinara with Italian Sausage
recipe adapted from Whole Foods
1 (about 3 1/2 pounds) spaghetti squash, halved and seeded
2 links fresh Italian pork sausage, removed from casings
1/2 cup finely chopped yellow onion
1 cup spinach
2 cups prepared classic pasta sauce
Preheat oven to 375°F. Arrange squash in dish, cut sides down. Pour 1/2 cup water into the dish and bake until just tender, 30 to 35 minutes. Rake with a fork to remove flesh in strands. Meanwhile, heat a skillet over medium heat and cook sausage, breaking into smaller pieces, until almost done, about 5 minutes. Add onion and cook, 6 to 8 minutes more. Add pasta sauce and spinach and simmer 2 to 3 minutes. Portion squash into bowls, top with sauce and serve with garlic bread.
**And might I add, this makes ridiculously good leftovers!
