How to cook deliciously - Sausage-Stuffed Spaghetti Squash

1. Stage

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Cover a baking sheet with foil.

2. Stage

Drizzle the squash flesh with olive oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Place both halves, cut-sides down, on the prepared baking sheet.

3. Stage

Bake in the preheated oven until tender when pierced with a fork, 30 to 40 minutes.

4. Stage

Meanwhile, heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook and stir sausage, onion, and garlic in the hot skillet until sausage is browned and crumbly, 7 to 10 minutes. Add bell pepper and mushrooms and saute for 3 minutes. Drain and discard any grease and excess liquid.

5. Stage

Stir in tomato sauce, black and green olives, and Italian seasoning, and bring to a simmer, about 5 minutes.

6. Stage

Remove the squash from the oven. Flip over so flesh is facing up. Sprinkle 1/2 cup mozzarella cheese into each half, then divide sausage mixture evenly between the two. Sprinkle remaining mozzarella over top.

7. Stage

Return to the oven and bake until cheese is melted and bubbly, about 10 more minutes.
