Thumbs up LC Spaghetti / Instructions for cooking spaghetti squash

I am not a great cook, but I have been craving spaghetti for awhile and remembered reading about spaghetti squash - what a life saver!

I have not plugged the info into fitday, so I do not know the true counts...

-1 jar Ragu LIGHT spaghetti sauce - carb count was 7 g. w/ 2 g. fiber per serving
-1 medium to large spaghetti squash...make sure you have a hacksaw to cut through the outer skin
-1# ground beef
-1 link of turkey keilbasa
-veggie's - mushrooms, green peppers, etc...what you like
-spices - I love curry and added about 1.5 tsp & season salt, pepper

Cut spaghetti squash in 1/2. Place in a large, microwave safe bowl, cut side down in about 1/4 c. water. Cover completely w/ clear plastic wrap. Depending on the size of your squash, microwave 10 - 15 minutes, or until you can easily pierce the skin with a fork. Remove (CAUTION -HOT!) and flake "spaghetti" out with a fork.

While the squash is nuking, start cooking the ground beef and sausage. Once thoroughly cooked, mix in with sauce & spices. I like to cook mine all together - sauce, meats & veggies - for awhile to blend flavors.

Spoon sauce mix over spaghetti squash - ENJOY!
