Test Kitchen tips
  • If you don't have taco seasoning on hand, feel free to substitute with your own blend of chili powder, onion powder, garlic powder, oregano, cayenne pepper and salt to taste.
  • One 8-ounce container of sliced mushrooms contains about 3-1/2 cups. If you’re not planning on using mushrooms later in the week, just grab 1 cup from the grocery store salad bar.

    Directions

    1. Halve squash lengthwise; discard seeds. Place squash on a microwave-safe plate, cut side down; microwave on high until tender, about 15 minutes. Cool slightly.
    2. Meanwhile, in a large skillet, heat oil over medium-high heat; saute sausage, yellow pepper, onion and mushrooms until onion is tender, about 5 minutes.
    3. Separate strands of squash with a fork; add to skillet. Stir in tomatoes and seasonings; bring to a boil. Reduce heat; simmer, uncovered, until flavors are blended, about 5 minutes. If desired, top with green onions.
