1/2 cup shredded mozzarella ($0.63)

1/4 cup Parmesan cheese ($0.50)

Instructions

1 Set a rack in the center of your oven and preheat it to 400°F. Slice the spaghetti squash in half, from tip to end. Scoop out the seeds in its central cavity. Brush each half with the cooking oil.

2 Divide the sausage equally between the two spaghetti squash halves.

3 Roast for 30 minutes or until the sausage reaches an internal temperature of 160°. Remove from the oven, but keep your oven on.*

4 Use two forks to separate the sausage into small chunks and to separate the squash into strands. Mix it all together.

5 Combine the cheeses.

6 Divide the cheese mixture equally between the halves and roast for another 10 minutes until the cheese is bubbly and begins to caramelize. Enjoy!
