Easy Sausage Spaghetti Squash Bowls – the easiest dinner ever for those nights when you don’t feel like stressing about dinner … but want something healthy!

My current weeknight obsession…

I don’t know about you guys, but my weeks seem to just get busier and busier!  Even though I work from home now, I still need to plan out my meals, meal prep and be ready for the week.  And this is currently my fav weeknight go-to!

What’s the carb content of spaghetti squash?

Each 100 grams of spaghetti squash contains just 6 grams of carbohydrates (compare that to regular wheat pasta, which has 70 grams of carbs per 100 grams!)

How to make it meal-prep friendly:

I like to prep my spaghetti squash ahead of time (learn how to perfectly roast your spaghetti squash here) and save the noodles for later in the week – that will cut most of the cook time out of this recipe!  Then when it is dinnertime, just re-heat your spaghetti squash, make your sausage and heat up your sauce!  Super, super simple and totally kid-friendly!  If you would rather cook your spaghetti squash in the Instant Pot®, that works really well too!!  Here is my tutorial!

And you have to put a little dab of ghee + salt + pepper on your spaghetti squash before you start mixing everything together – it totally elevates this super simple dish to the next level!

Notes

• I also like to roast some broccolini to add to the bowl as well!
• I love this recipe because it has so much flexibility – you can adjust it so easily depending upon how many people you are feeding, etc.  Simply cook a little extra sausage if you have a bigger spaghetti squash and are feeding lots of people, etc.
