Ingredients:

Serving

1 large spaghetti squash , halved lengthwise and seeded (about 4 lbs)
3 tbsp unsalted butter , cut into pieces
2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
salt & freshly ground black pepper
1 lb uncooked chicken sausage
3/4 cup plain breadcrumbs
1/2 cup freshly grated parmesan cheese (more to taste, for me that'd be a lot more)
8 basil leaves , torn

Directions:

Place the squash, cut side up, on a damp paper towel in a microwavable dish. Microwave on high until tender, about 15 minutes.
Using a fork, scrape the strands of squash into a microwavable bowl and toss with the butter and 1 tablespoon olive oil.
Season to taste with salt and pepper.
Meanwhile, combine the sausage with the bread crumbs and form into 1-inch meatballs.
In a large skillet, heat the remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil over medium-high heat.
Add the meatballs and cook, stirring, until browned, about 6 minutes.
Cover and cook over low heat until cooked through, about 3 minutes more.
Reheat the shredded squash in the microwave and top with the meatballs, cheese and basil.
