Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.
2. Cut spaghetti squash in half and removes the seeds.
3. Brush olive oil, one garlic clove, salt, and pepper on the open part of the squash. Place open side flat on the pan. Bake in the oven for 45 minutes or when skin is easy to slice through.
4. Chop all veggies, chicken sausage.
5. Heat about 1 tbsp of olive oil in large skillet.
