In this lighter take on a casserole-like dish, each small spaghetti squash makes an edible vessel for two. The squash flesh—studded with Italian sausage, a fresh bite of kale and garlicky breadcrumbs—is mounded in its shell.Slideshow:More Spaghetti Squash Recipes

Instructions Checklist
  • 将烤箱预热至400°。在一张大的有框烤盘上,将南瓜切成薄片,然后用1汤匙橄榄油擦拭肉。慷慨地撒上盐和胡椒粉,烘烤约1小时,直到用刀轻松刺穿南瓜为止。稍微冷却,然后将肉oop放入一个大碗中,使南瓜壳完好无损。将贝壳放在烤盘上,并保持烤箱热。

  • Mince the garlic cloves and sprinkle with a pinch of salt. Use your knife to mash to a paste. In a large skillet, heat 3 tablespoons of the olive oil over moderate heat and add the garlic, stirring until just fragrant, about 30 seconds. Add the breadcrumbs and toast, stirring frequently, until crisp and golden, about 5 minutes. Transfer the crumbs to a medium bowl and stir in the cheese and herbs and season with salt and pepper. Wipe out the skillet.

  • In the same skillet, heat the remaining 1 tablespoon of the olive oil over moderate heat. Add the sausage and cook, breaking up any large pieces with a spoon, until just cooked through, 6 to 8 minutes.

  • Add the breadcrumbs, sausage and the kale to the squash and toss. Divide the mixture evenly among the four squash shells and drizzle generously with olive oil. Bake for about 20 minutes, until the filling is browned on top. Serve hot or warm.

Make Ahead

The squash boats can be assembled and refrigerated for up to 1 day. Bake according to recipe directions.
