This is the perfect comfort classic, mixed with the completely versatile spaghetti sqaush, and let me tell ya, folks… It…is…DELISH! This actually didn’t even happen on purpose either. I had planned on making some fried cabbage and sausage because it sounded really good, but had some spaghetti squash I bought for something else. Well I ended up not making it for that something else and one thing led to another and… Viola! We had Fried Cabbage and Sausage Spaghetti Squash Boats! It was a beautiful mistake to make.
Now, traditionally and typically I actually make this also with some bacon, which is also really good, the sodium and fat content from it gives it a great flavor, and you can use the bacon grease to cook your veggies and sausage in. But ya know what? Tonight I didn’t. Haha, it was more about what we had on hand, and I’ll be honest, sometimes those turn out to be the best damn meals! So I hope you like this spin on a comforting homestyle classic.
