Ingredients

For squash:

For meat:

  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 2 chicken breasts sliced into 1 inch strips
  • 1 pound cajun Andouille sausages sliced into coins
  • 1 tablespoon salt-free cajun spice blend

For sauce:

  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes
  • ½ cup chicken stock
  • ½ cup butter
  • 8 ounces cream cheese softened
  • 1 cup grated parmesan cheese divided
  • 1-½ cup heavy cream
  • For topping:
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • Chopped fresh basil

Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 400 degrees F.
  • Cut your spaghetti squash in vertical halves, if you have trouble cutting it, pierce it with a fork and microwave it on high for 3-5 minutes. 
  • Scoop out the fleshy insides and discard. 
  • Place the squash onto a rimmed baking sheet, drizzle the cavities of the squash with olive oil, generously salt, and pepper. 
  • Place them face down onto the sheet and put them into the oven for 30-40 minutes. 
  • Optionally - cook your spaghetti squash in the microwave. Directions with a link to the how-to instructions in the post.
  • While your spaghetti squash bakes, place a 12-inch high-sided skillet over medium heat and add 1 tablespoon olive oil.  
  • When the oil is hot, add the sliced chicken, sausage, and cajun spice blend. Saute for about five minutes or until the meat is cooked through. 
  • Place the meat aside on a paper towel. 
  • Turn the heat down to low, add garlic and spices, and saute for 3 minutes or until the garlic becomes fragrant. 
  • Add the chicken broth, butter, cream cheese, and parmesan. Stir continuously until the cheese begins to melt.
  • Slowly add the heavy cream and continue to stir until all of the cheese is melted and the sauce has thickened slightly.
  • Add the chicken and sausage back into the skillet, stir to combine, and remove the skillet from the heat.
  • Remove your spaghetti squash from the oven, fluff the insides of the squash, and fill each cavity with the cajun alfredo mixture.
  • Top with grated cheese and place it back into the oven for 10 minutes or until bubbly.
  • Remove from the oven and top with chopped basil.
