25-MINUTE CHEESY SAUSAGE AND BUTTERNUT SQUASH CASSEROLE

Steps:

• Position an oven rack about 5 inches from the broiling element, and preheat the broiler.
• Heat 2 tablespoons of the oil in a large high-sided skillet over medium-high heat. While the pan is heating, thinly slice the onion; set aside about 1/3 cup for the salad.
• Add the sausage to the pan, and break it up into smaller chunks with a wooden spoon. Stir periodically until it is brown all over, about 5 minutes. Add the remaining onion and the squash. Stir for a minute, then add the tomatoes, 2 tablespoons water, 3/4 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper. Cover partially, and let simmer vigorously, stirring occasionally, until reduced and thick, about 10 minutes.
• Meanwhile, slice the polenta into 1/4-inch rounds. Butter the flameproof baking dish, and shingle the rounds in one layer. Dot the polenta with the pieces of butter. Place the dish under the broiler, and broil the polenta until it is hot and soft, about 4 minutes.

• Meanwhile, toss the spinach in a large bowl with the reserved onion, the remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil, the balsamic vinegar, and salt and pepper to taste. Serve the casserole with the spinach salad on the side.

ITALIAN SAUSAGE & SPAGHETTI SQUASH CASSEROLE

Steps:

• This casserole will require a 9x13 inch casserole dish (you may prep it with non-stick cooking spray if desired).
• Preheat the oven to 400-degrees. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or tin foil. Halve the squash (lengthwise or widthwise) and scoop out the seeds. Sprinkle the halves with a bit of salt. Place squash halves cut side down on a baking sheet.
• Bake squash in preheated oven for about 35-40 minutes or until it's easily pierced with a knife. Remove from oven and cool until easily handled. Use a fork to scrape out the "spaghetti" into a mixing bowl.
• To the squash, add egg (beaten), Parmesan cheese, onion powder, garlic powder, black pepper, and salt. Mix well. Set aside. Reduce oven temperature to 375-degrees in preparation for the casserole.
• In a large to medium pot, over medium-high heat, brown the Italian sausage until just done. Do not drain. Add the onion, bell pepper, and garlic. Cook for another 3-5 minutes until the onions become translucent. Remove from heat. Add the 24 oz jar of pasta sauce. Mix thoroughly. Set aside.
• Grab your casserole dish and begin layering. First, add about 2/3 cup of meat sauce to the bottom of the dish, and spread evenly. Next, layer half the spaghetti squash mixture on top of the meat sauce using a fork to evenly press it into a uniform thickness, almost as if it's acting as a lasagna noodle. Top the squash layer with half of the remaining meat sauce, and spread evenly. Now sprinkle 2 cups of the shredded mozzarella cheese over the meat sauce.
• Spread the remaining squash mixture using the same technique as above, followed by the rest of the meat sauce. Sprinkle the last 2 cups of mozzarella cheese evenly over the meat layer.
• Bake in preheated, 375-degree oven until cheese is bubbly and golden brown, about 25-30 minutes.
• Let cool for at least 10 minutes. This allows the casserole to be set up so that each serving comes out clean and beautiful. Enjoy!
