HOW MANY CALORIES IN A SPAGHETTI SQUASH RECIPES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375°. Slice squash lengthwise and scoop out seeds. Place squash, cut side down, in a baking dish. Add water and cover tightly with foil. Bake until easily pierced with a fork, 20-30 minutes.
  Meanwhile, in a cast-iron or other heavy large skillet, cook beef over medium heat until no longer pink; crumble meat; drain. Add onion, green pepper, herbs and seasonings; cook and stir until onion is tender, 5-7 minutes. Stir in tomato puree. Cover and cook over low heat, stirring occasionally. Scoop out squash, separating the strands with a fork. Just before serving; stir 1/2 cup Parmesan cheese into meat sauce. Serve sauce over spaghetti squash with remaining 1/2 cup Parmesan cheese.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400°F. Rub cut sides of squash with 1 tablespoon oil. Place squash, cut-sides down, on a baking sheet. Roast until tender when pierced with a fork, about 30 minutes. Using a fork, scrape the squash strands into a medium bowl.
• Meanwhile, heat the remaining 1 tablespoon oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add sausage and cook, using a wooden spoon to break it into small pieces, until browned, about 8 minutes. Add onion, carrots, garlic and crushed red pepper; cook, stirring often, until the onion is just translucent, about 2 minutes. Add tomatoes and broth and bring to a boil over medium-high. Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer, stirring occasionally, until the carrots and onion are almost tender, 5 to 6 minutes. Stir in kale and cook until tender, about 3 minutes. Remove from heat. Season with pepper.
• To serve, place 1/2 cup squash strands in each of 6 bowls, reserving the remaining squash strands for another use. Ladle the tomato-sausage soup around the squash in the bowls.
