Spaghetti Squash with Sausage and Marinara

Tonight's dinner started with roasting a spaghetti squash in a 400 degree oven for about 1 hour, until tender.

Meanwhile, some Italian turkey sausage meat was browned in a skillet, removed and set aside. After wiping out the skillet, some onions were sauteed for a few minutes before some sliced garlic was added for a few seconds. A pound of cherry tomatoes went in in with some salt and red pepper flakes and cooked until the tomatoes were softened about 5 minutes. The tomatoes were crushed with a potato masher to break them apart and then some fresh basil was added.

The cooked, scooped out squash was combined with some Parmesan cheese, 2 tablespoons olive oil and seasoned with salt and red pepper flakes. The seasoned squash was topped with the cooked sausage meat and marinara and the entire dish was further garnished with Parmesan and fresh basil.
