Ingredients

4

4 servings

  • 1 spaghetti squash, halved and seeded
  • 3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
  • ¼ cup ground vegan sausage (such as Gimme Lean®)
  • 1 small onion, chopped
  • 1 small green bell pepper, chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, chopped
  • ½ cup sliced fresh mushrooms
  • 1 (6.5 ounce) can tomato sauce
  • 1 (6 ounce) can tomato paste
  • ¾ cup water
  • 2 tablespoons dried Italian seasoning
  • 2 tablespoons brown sugar
  • 2 teaspoons sea salt
  • 1 teaspoon ground black pepper

Instructions

  • Preheat an oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
  • Place the spaghetti squash cut side down on a baking dish. Fill the baking dish with about 1 inch of water.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until the flesh of the squash is tender and the skin is easily pierced with a fork, about 45 minutes.
  • After squash goes in the oven, heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Stir in the vegan sausage, onion, bell pepper, and garlic; cook and stir until vegetables are tender, 5 to 7 minutes. Add mushrooms, and cook for 3 more minutes. Stir the tomato sauce, tomato paste, water, Italian seasoning, brown sugar, sea salt, and black pepper. Cover and simmer while the squash continues to cook, about 35 minutes.
  • Scoop the flesh from the squash onto a plate, and use two forks to separate and fluff up the strands of squash. Top with the sauce to serve.
