Ingredients

1 medium spaghetti squash, halved and seeded

2 tablespoons olive oil, divided

¼ teaspoon salt

¼ teaspoon ground black pepper

1 (14 ounce) package Hillshire Farm® Smoked Sausage, bias-sliced 1/2-inch thick

1 red bell pepper, chopped

1 onion, chopped

½ cup pre-made basil pesto

¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese

Directions

Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. With a fork, pierce squash halves several times. Rub the inside of the halves with 1 tablespoon olive oil. Sprinkle with salt and pepper.

On a foil-lined, rimmed baking sheet, arrange squash, flesh side down. Bake 45 to 50 minutes or until very tender.

Meanwhile, in a 12-inch skillet, heat remaining 1 tablespoon oil over medium heat. Cook and stir sausage, red pepper, and onion 6 to 8 minutes or until sausage is browned and pepper and onion are crisp-tender.

Cool baked squash slightly. Shred insides with a fork. Add spaghetti squash to skillet and cook and stir until heated through, about 2 minutes.

Just before serving, carefully stir in pesto and sprinkle with Parmesan cheese.
