If you can’t find hot Italian sausage, just use ground turkey and season with some parsley, Italian seasoning, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, fennel, red pepper flakes, and some salt and pepper!
Cook your Spaghetti Squash in the Instant Pot
Place 1 cup of water plus the sliced spaghetti squash in the pot. Use the steamer basket to elevate the squash. Pressure cook on high for 7 minutes and quick release when done.
Cook your Spaghetti Squash in Microwave
Poke the spaghetti squash with a fork 6-10 times with a sharp knife. Place in the microwave for 7 minutes. Rotate and cook another 4-7 minutes until the squash is tender to the touch.

Hi, I want to try this receipt, but not sure do you cook the squash in and instapot or microwave 1st and then cook it in the oven?
Thank, Im a newbie to spaghetti squash
Hi Denise, just cook it one time. I just provided instructions in the post to use your Instant Pot or microwave as an alternative to the oven if you’d like.
Do you remove the casing from the sausage or just cut them up?
I like to remove the casing and cook it like any other ground meat. But slicing them up works just fine too. Whatever you prefer for this one.
What is better than spaghetti squash and pizza! Thanks for such an amazing and easily adaptable recipe. I could litterally eat this everyday and probably never get sick of it! I did use chicken italian sausage since I couldn’t find turkey but it was soo good.
This recipe is ok. It is very under seasoned. How much of the seasonings are we supposed to add if we can’t find the Jenni O sausage? It has a pro tip box but doesn’t say when or how much to add the extra seasonings. The temperature to cook the bowls I am assuming is 400 degrees as stated at the beginning of the recipe? Same as for the squash? The instructions could be more clear.
Hi Jackie, I’m going to assume you didn’t use any sausage if the recipe tasted under seasoned? I understand substitutions sometimes have to be made, which is why I mentioned adding the extra seasonings yourself if you can’t find the sausage. It sounds like you just didn’t add enough seasonings. I’m sorry there are no exact amounts provided for that option, sometimes you just have to measure with the heart and taste test it. As for the oven temp, it stays the same, which is why it’s not mentioned a second time in the instructions. Sorry this recipe didn’t turn out how you wanted, it’s one of my favorites.
Can these bowls be frozen?
Yes of course. Just let them defrost well before reheating, so the bowls don’t crack.
Delicious and filling!
I love this as a meal prep but if I wanted to make a full casserole, 13X9, would the 6 bowls of ingredients be equivalent?
Yes!
Could you plz correct step 4 or update? I guess I’ll add the egg to the tomato/yogurt/seasoningstep…
A previous comment asked but it wasn’t answered:
I’m assuming that in step 4 where it says to add 1/6 of the egg mixture, that’s when you add the pizza sauce, yogurt and spices mixture, is that correct?
Hi Delores, I looked over my recipe instructions again and it all looks correct to me. Step 4 is when you evenly distribute the egg whites into all 5 containers. Each bowl gets 1/6 of the eggs.
I’m assuming that in step 4 where it says to add 1/6 of the egg mixture, that’s when you add the pizza sauce, yogurt and spices mixture, is that correct?
Hi Theresa, you add those ingredients to the meat. Step 3.
When do you put the pepperoni and mozzarella cheese on? Prior to baking? Thank you.
Yes, those go on the very top!
Are the egg whites necessary? If so, what is the purpose of it? A binder perhaps?
Hi Vivian, Yesa it binds it all together well and it adds a little more protein. It can be made without them if you prefer.
