SPAGHETTI SQUASH WITH SAUSAGE AND PIZZA SAUCE

INGREDIENTS

  • 1 small spaghetti squash, halved and seeds removed
  • 1 organic green pepper, thinly sliced
  • 1 onion, thinly sliced
  • 1-2 Tbsp avocado oil
  • 1 jar Rao’s Pizza Sauce (or brand without sugar)
  • Pink Himalayan salt & black pepper, to taste
  • Genesis Vegan Parmesan Cheese (for Standard or Vegan plan) or organic mozzarella cheese for maintenance, to sprinkle on top
  • Optional: 1 pkg. AlFresco Italian Chicken Sausage, sliced thin or casing removed for ground sausage OR Genesis Vegan Italian Sausage (see below for serving info) *

INSTRUCTIONS

  1. Preheat the oven to 400˚F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or foil. Place the squash cut side up and brush lightly with oil. Bake for 45-60 minutes or until knife inserts easily into the flesh.
  2. If using AlFresco chicken sausage, heat a skillet to medium/high heat. Add 1 Tbsp of oil and sauté until browned on both sides. If using the Genesis Vegan Italian Sausage, follow the recipe.
  3. In a separate large skillet, heat oil over medium heat. Add green pepper and onion and sauté for 5-7 minutes. Add Rao’s Pizza Sauce and mix until heated through.
  4. Using a fork, scrape the spaghetti squash into a large bowl. Place 2/3 cup of squash onto a plate and top with sausage (serving amounts below), and top with 1/3 cup of pizza sauce. Sprinkle with Vegan Parmesan or mozzarella (maintenance), if desired.

* If you want to add AlFresco chicken sausage to your dish, pan fry separately until browned. Two sausages is a serving of protein for one meal.

If you want the Vegan Tempeh Sausage, make according to the Genesis recipe in a separate pan. One serving is 3 oz. of protein
