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 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

  • 1. 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.
  • 2. 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.
