Ingredients

Cooking spray
1 spaghetti squash halved lengthwise and seeded
2 tbsp olive oil divided
3 4 ounces (4 ounces) Italian sausage links casings removed
2 spring onions finely chopped
3 cloves garlic minced
1 zucchini, diced diced
1 red bell pepper seeded and diced
1 tbsp Italian seasoning
4 ounces crumbled feta cheese
sea salt to taste
1 pinch lemon pepper, or to taste
1 small tomato finely chopped
1 tbsp chopped fresh parsley or as desired (optional)

Instructions

Preheat the oven carefully to 350 degrees F.
Coat the large baking dish with cooking spray.
Then place spaghetti squash cut-side down in prepared baking dish.
Bake it in the preheated oven until spaghetti squash is tender when pierced with a fork, about 45 minutes. Turn the squash over and properly bake it for another 5 minutes. Remove the spaghetti squash from oven. Rub the strands from the skin and place it into a large bowl.
Heat the one tablespoon of the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add Italian sausage and cook, occasionally stirring, until sausage is brown and crumbly, 5 to 8 minutes. Remove sausage.
Return skillet to heat; add one tablespoon olive oil, spring onions, and garlic, cook and stir until onions have softened it about 5 minutes. Combine zucchini, red peppers, and Italian sauce and continue to cook and stir it until the vegetables are smooth about 5 minutes.
Mix spaghetti squash and feta cheese into vegetable mixture; cook and stir until cheese melts, about 3 minutes. Stir the sausage into the vegetable mix; season it with salt and lemon pepper. Sprinkle the tomato and parsley on top to serve.
