Steps:
- With a sharp knife, slice the squash in half. (If the squash is too tough - puncture in several places forming a dotted line around the squash. Microwave for 3-5 minutes to soften. Allow to cool before cutting in half - following the dotted line).
- Scoop out the seeds - brush with oil, salt, and pepper.
- Roast face down in a preheated oven at 375˚F (190˚C) for 35-40 minutes (until a fork can easily pierce the skin).
- Meanwhile - Slice the chicken breasts into strips. Season with salt and pepper.
- Place flour, beaten egg, and breadcrumbs into three separate bowls.
- Coat each strip with flour, then egg, and then roll in bread crumbs.
- Pour oil in a cast-iron skillet to come ¼ inch up the side. Heat the oil over medium-high heat.
- Fry the chicken strips (in batches if necessary) until golden brown on all sides and cooked through. Transfer to paper towels and remove pan from heat.
- Once the squash has finished roasting - remove from the oven and let it set for a few minutes before turing over and pulling at it with a fork.
- Shred the inside of each squash, being careful not to poke through the skin.
- Pour marinara sauce over shredded squash. Top with chicken strips, then more marinara, and finish with mozzarella and parmesan cheese, and a pinch of Italian seasoning.
- Return to the oven to bake for 10-15 minutes until the cheese has melted.
- Enjoy!

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F. Cut the squash in half lengthwise using a serrated knife and remove the seeds with a spoon. Brush the flesh of both halves with 1 teaspoon oil and season with 1/2 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper. Put the halves flesh-side down on a baking sheet and cook until tender, the flesh can easily be flaked with a fork and the edges just turn brown, about 45 minutes. Separate the strands of squash by scraping the flesh with a fork. Leave the scraped strands inside the squash.
- Meanwhile, heat the remaining oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the sausage and cook, breaking it up with a wooden spoon and taking care to keep some larger chunks, until it just starts to brown and crisp up, 5 to 6 minutes. Add the tomatoes, thyme, red pepper flakes and garlic and cook, stirring, until just fragrant, about 1 minute. Pour in the wine and cook until reduced by half, 2 to 3 minutes. Add the heavy cream and 1 teaspoon salt and bring to a boil. Lower the heat to medium and simmer until the sauce reduces by half, 3 to 4 minutes. Add the white beans and spinach to the skillet and cook, stirring frequently, until the spinach just wilts and is still vibrant green, 1 to 2 minutes.
- Divide the sausage mixture between the 2 squash halves and mix with the squash strands until well combined. Sprinkle each squash half with 1 tablespoon Parmesan and serve with more red pepper flakes, if using.

Steps:
- Pierce the squash along one side in a straight line. Don't poke holes all over. You are using the skin as a casserole dish and it will leak if you poke it all over.
- Microwave the squash about 8-10 minutes, high heat. To softish stage so you can scrape the flesh out later.
- Remove from microwave. Using the pierce marks, cut the squash in half so you have two long 'boats.' Cool.
- Brown meat; add garlic, onion, s&p and peppers. Cook until tenderish. Add Italian spice mix and canned tomatoes. Simmer for a few minutes.
- If you are not using meat, sauté the veggies until tender, then continue adding spices and tomatoes.
- While it's simmering--spoon out the seedy portion of the squash and discard.
- Use a fork to scrape the spaghetti into strands. Put the strands into the sauce mix. Stir. Transfer back into boats, piling high! If you have too much, put the remainder into a greased dish.
- Place boats on an ovenproof pan with a lip so any juice will not drip onto oven.
- Sprinkle cheese of choice onto top. Bake, 350°F for about 45 minutes. Enjoy!
- You can of course use more or any veggies--add zucchini, mushrooms, etc. For a different flavor, add black olive slices, mix in 1/2 container of feta and sprinkle the remainder of feta on top. Or use parmesan on top.

Steps:
- Place both whole spaghetti squash in a large stockpot of water. Cover pot, and bring water to a boil. Reduce heat to a simmer, and cook the squash until it is slightly tender when you press it with your fingers, 20 to 30 minutes. Drain. Using a serrated knife, cut the squash in half crosswise. Stand the halves on end, with cut sides up, and set aside to cool 15 minutes.
- Heat oven to 450 degrees. Remove the seeds from the squash halves; discard them. Using a teaspoon, scrape the flesh; it will separate into spaghetti-like strands. Transfer the strands to a large mixing bowl, and transfer the shells to a baking pan; set both aside.
- Chop 12 of the tomatoes into 1/2-inch pieces, and add to the squash strands. Slice the remaining 4 tomatoes into 1/4-inch-thick rounds, and set aside.
- Place the garlic, olive oil, basil leaves, salt, and pepper in the bowl of a food processor. Process until the basil has been very finely chopped, about 2 minutes.
- Transfer the basil mixture to the mixing bowl with the squash strands and the tomato pieces; toss with vegetables to combine. Divide the mixture among the reserved squash shells, and top each shell with several tomato slices. Sprinkle 1 1/2 tablespoons Parmesan cheese over each shell.
- Transfer the baking pan to the oven, and bake the stuffed squash until the cheese is golden and a metal skewer inserted down into the stuffing comes out hot when held there for 15 seconds, about 30 minutes. Transfer to a wire rack to cool slightly. Garnish with basil sprigs, and serve warm.

- INSTRUCTIONS Spaghetti Squash Preheat oven to 400 degrees and line a baking sheet with foil. Cut the spaghetti squash in half and scoop out the seeds. Rub or spray the interior with oil and season with kosher salt and black pepper. Place the halves cut side down on the baking sheet and roast in the oven for approximately 40 minutes or until a knife can be inserted in the flesh easily. Remove from the oven and let the squash cool until it can be handled. Using a fork scoop out the flesh in long strands and put them in a bowl.

When the skillet is hot add in the chicken, season with salt and pepper and sauté until cooked through. Remove the chicken from the skillet onto a plate.
