Microwaving the spaghetti squash ensures hands-off steaming while you cook the rest of tonight's dinner in a single skillet. If your microwave-safe dish can only hold one squash half at a time, steam it in two batches.

Ingredients

  • medium spaghetti squash (about 2 1/2 lb.), halved and: 1 piece (seeded)
  • water: 0.25 cup
  • olive oil: 1 Tbsp
  • smoked sausage, bias-sliced into 1-inch pieces: 1 pack (14 ounce pack)
  • onion: 1 piece (chopped)
  • orange bell pepper: 1 piece (chopped)
  • vodka sauce or creamy rosa pasta sauce: 1 jar (24 ounce jar)
  • ounces frozen broccoli florets (about 3 1/2 cups): 8 piece
  • shaved Parmesan cheese: 1 Tbsp (to taste, optional)
  • leaves fresh basil: 4 piece (for garnish, optional)
