Ingredients
- 1 lb. Italian sausage
- 1 medium spaghetti squash, halved and seeded
- Extra virgin olive oil, for drizzling
- 1 large bunch of kale, de-stemmed, and chopped
- 1/2 red onion, sliced thin
- 1/3 cup chicken broth
- 1/2 cup coconut milk
- 1 clove garlic, minced
- 2 tsp Italian seasoning
- Salt and freshly ground pepper, to taste
Preparation
Step 1
Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
Place the squash in the microwave for 3-4 minutes to soften. Using a sharp knife, cut the squash in half lengthwise. Scoop out the seeds and discard.
Place the halves, with the cut side up, on a rimmed baking sheet. Drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Roast in the oven for 45-50 minutes, until you can poke the squash easily with a fork.
Let it cool until you can handle it safely. Then scrape the insides with a fork to shred the squash into strands.
Meanwhile, melt the coconut oil in a large oven-safe skillet over medium heat. Add the sausage and brown. Once cooked through, remove to a plate. In the same skillet, add the onion and sauté for 3-4 minutes.
Next add the garlic, Italian seasoning, and kale and cook for 2-3 minutes to slightly wilt the kale.
Pour in the chicken broth and coconut milk and simmer for an additional 2-3 minutes. Remove from heat.
Stir in the cooked sausage. Add the spaghetti squash into the skillet and stir well to combine.
Bake for 15-18 minutes, until the top has slightly browned. Serve hot.
