Kosher salt and ground black pepper
1 lb ground Italian sausage (medium or hot)
1 medium yellow onion, chopped

  5. Spoon mixture into squash wells. Top with Parmesan cheese. Place back into oven for 8-10 minutes or until cheese is melted. Top with parsley.
  6. Use a fork to shred squash into “spaghetti noodles”, combine with meat mixture and enjoy!!
