How to Make Spaghetti Squash Spaghetti Ragu

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Cut one medium spaghetti squash in half lengthwise and remove seeds.
  3. Place the spaghetti squash halves cut-side down in a microwave-safe dish. Add 1 inch of water to the dish.
  4. Microwave on high for 8-10 minutes, or until the squash is easily pierced with a fork.
  5. While the squash cooks, slice 1 pound of Italian sausage into ½-inch pieces and brown in a large skillet over medium heat until cooked through. Drain off any excess grease.
  6. Cook 8 ounces of your favorite pasta according to package directions.
  7. Drain the pasta and stir in 1 (24-ounce) jar of Ragú pasta sauce and the cooked Italian sausage.
  8. Use a fork to scrape the cooked spaghetti squash strands from the rind and add them to the pasta mixture.
  9. Transfer the mixture to a greased 9x13 inch baking dish.
  10. Sprinkle 1 cup of shredded mozzarella cheese over the top.
  11. In a small bowl, combine ½ cup breadcrumbs with 2 tablespoons melted butter. Sprinkle evenly over the cheese.
  12. Bake at 350°F (175°C) for 25-30 minutes, or until heated through and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
  13. Let cool slightly before serving. Enjoy!
