Ingredients

1 spaghetti squash
1 teaspoon olive oil
2 Italian turkey sausage links, casings removed
1 onion, diced
1 cup sliced mushrooms
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 pint cherry tomatoes
1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
Chopped fresh basil (optional)

Directions

Cut spaghetti squash lengthwise in half. Remove seeds. Place squash in 12×8-inch microwavable dish. Cover with vented plastic wrap. Microwave on HIGH 9 minutes or until squash separates easily into strands when tested with fork. Cut each squash half lengthwise in half; separate strands with fork.

Meanwhile, heat oil in large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add sausage and onion; cook 5 minutes or until sausage begins to brown, stirring to break up meat. Add mushrooms and garlic; cook and stir 5 minutes or until sausage is no longer pink. Add tomatoes, seasoning, salt and pepper; cook 2 minutes or until heated through.

Divide squash among 4 serving bowls. Top evenly with sausage mixture. Garnish with basil.
