Pepper, Onion & Sausage Spaghetti Squash
This quick and easy Pepper, Onion & Sausage recipe is perfect for topping on top of Spaghetti Squash or your favorite pasta for a delicious vegan meal!
When you’re looking for a simple, healthy spaghetti squash recipe, this Pepper, Onion, and Sausage Spaghetti Squash is one of my favorites.
It’s full of flavor and super easy to put together!
I always seem to have my spaghetti squash with some kind of pasta sauce but not too much sauce where it’s drowning, just enough to give some added flavor.
For the sausage, Field Roast sausage is my first choice, and Tofurkey is runner-up. White beans would be a great option, too. I suggest Great Northern, Navy, or Chickpeas.
Of course, it wouldn’t be complete for me without red pepper flakes for heat.
The basil over top adds color and extra flavors to this already delicious bowl of goodness. Enjoy!

Ingredients
- 1 cooked spaghetti squash
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 red bell pepper, julienned
- 1/2 yellow onion, sliced
- 2 vegan sausages (such as Field Roast or Tofurkey), sliced
- mineral salt & fresh cracked pepper
- pinch of red pepper flakes
- a few large basil leaves, julienned
- 1 jar marinara sauce, optional
Instructions
Cook the spaghetti squash using this step-by-step guide: How To Cook Spaghetti Squash
In a medium-sized skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat, add onion, and cook until softened, about 5 minutes. Add sliced bell peppers and sausage, and cook until bell peppers are softened and sausage is lightly browned around the edges.
While veggies are cooking, warm pasta sauce.
Serve spaghetti squash in a serving bowl. Top with a little sauce and half of the vegetable mixture. Add julienned basil over the top, and enjoy.
Notes
If you prefer you can rake and keep the spaghetti squash in its rind, acting as its own bowl. One less dish to wash!
Marinara sauce can be optional, this works just as well without it.
