Description

This pesto spaghetti squash skillet with Hillshire Farm smoked sausage recipe uses roasted spaghetti squash, smoked sausage, bell pepper, onion, and pesto.

Ingredients

1 medium spaghetti squash, halved and seeded
2 tablespoons olive oil, divided
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
1 (14 ounce) package Hillshire Farm® Smoked Sausage, bias-sliced 1/2-inch thick
1 onion, chopped
1 red bell pepper, chopped
1/2 cup pre-made basil pesto
1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese

Directions

1 Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (205 degrees C). Line a rimmed baking sheet with aluminum foil.
2 Pierce squash halves several times with a fork. Rub insides with 1 tablespoon olive oil; season with salt and black pepper. Arrange squash, cut-sides down, on the prepared baking sheet.
3 Bake in the preheated oven until very tender, 45 to 50 minutes. Cool squash slightly.
4 Meanwhile, heat remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil in a 12-inch skillet over medium heat. Add sausage, onion, and bell pepper; cook and stir until sausage is browned and onion and bell pepper are crisp-tender, 6 to 8 minutes.
5 Shred squash flesh with a fork; add to skillet. Cook and stir until heated through, about 2 minutes.
6 Carefully stir in pesto and sprinkle with Parmesan cheese just before serving.
