So, I have to brag, I TOTALLY rocked it in the kitchen last night! I have always thought of my self as a pretty good cook. But WOW, I have to tell you, last night was a topper.
Ingredents:
1 Spaghetti Squash
1/2 White Onion (cut in long pieces)
15 Baby Carrots (cut lengthwise then into 1/3s)
Package of Turkey Sausage (6 brat sizes links)
Pesto
Extra Virgin Olive Oil
Water
Prepare your squash as you would normally. There are many different ways of doing this, I favor the microwave option.
Cut up your sausage into five pieces each brat.
Saute' the onions until soft, add the carrots. Let them get a little wrinkly then add about 1/2 cup water and boil until carrots are soft. Let the water cook away. If you need to add more water, then go head. After the water is gone, add the squash and mix. Set to low and cook your sausage, stir occasionally.
Add the sausage to their own frying pan and brown the outsides. Add a cup of water and boil them until the middles are no longer pink. I have used the sweet turkey sausage.
Place the squash into a bowl and coat with the pesto. I have not given a measurement to the pesto because it is all about taste. If you like a lot of pesto, add a lot. I took a small forkful and placed it in bowl with a little pesto and tasted it until I got it just right. No need to ruin the whole meal if you are not sure what will taste good to you. Use a small serving bowl to help you.
Crescent Rolls
Pre-made Crescent Rolls
Shredded Cheese
Oregano
These are SO good and SO easy!
Take your pre-made crescent rolls and place them on a cooking sheet.
Sprinkle a little Oregano and cheese on top each then bake as directed.
I love doing this because if you use pre-made rolls, add a little something to them and they taste fresh and completes your meal.
I have been told that this meal does not look the tastiest, but I can promise you that it does not taste as it looks, I was a little scared at first, I even had to talk my daughter ( who is like Mikey) into trying it. She loved it as well.
Now, my husband was the clincher. When I make spaghetti squash, what he says is this, "Thank you for making something I do not like into something I can eat." I will take it as a compliment, if you don't like something but I can make it into something you can eat, it works. But, with this meal, he said it was good, had seconds and even took the left overs to work. Now if that isn't the best compliment on a food he does not like, then I do not know what is.....lol!
Enjoy!
