Ingredients

1 small spaghetti squash (about 2 pounds)
1 tablespoon canola oil
1 package (12 ounces) fully cooked chorizo chicken sausage links or other sausage flavor of choice, sliced
1 medium sweet yellow pepper, chopped
1 medium sweet onion, halved and sliced
1 cup sliced fresh mushrooms
1 can (14-1/2 ounces) no-salt-added diced tomatoes, undrained
1 tablespoon reduced-sodium taco seasoning
1/4 teaspoon pepper
Chopped green onions, optional

Directions

Halve squash lengthwise; discard seeds. Place squash on a microwave-safe plate, cut side down; microwave on high until tender, about 15 minutes. Cool slightly.
Meanwhile, in a large skillet, heat oil over medium-high heat; saute sausage, yellow pepper, onion and mushrooms until onion is tender, about 5 minutes.
Separate strands of squash with a fork; add to skillet. Stir in tomatoes and seasonings; bring to a boil. Reduce heat; simmer, uncovered, until flavors are blended, about 5 minutes. If desired, top with green onions.

Test Kitchen tips

If you don't have taco seasoning on hand, feel free to substitute with your own blend of chili powder, onion powder, garlic powder, oregano, cayenne pepper and salt to taste.

One 8-ounce container of sliced mushrooms contains about 3-1/2 cups. If you’re not planning on using mushrooms later in the week, just grab 1 cup from the grocery store salad bar.
