Ingredients

• 3  lbs spaghetti squash, cut in half lengthwise and seeded
• 4  garlic cloves
• 1  tablespoon unsalted butter, softened
• 2  teaspoons fresh basil or 2  teaspoons fresh chives, finely chopped
• 1  teaspoon fresh lemon juice
• 2  teaspoons olive oil
• 6  lamb sausages
• 2  teaspoons Dijon mustard
• 2  teaspoons honey
• 1⁄4 cup  toasted pine nuts (optional)

Directions

1. Preheat oven to 400°F
2. Season squash with salt and pepper, and place 2 garlic cloves in each half. Place in a microwave-safe dish cut-side up and cover with plastic wrap. Cook on high for about 15 minutes or until squash feels soft when pressed. Let rest 5 minutes.
3. Remove plastic wrap, discard garlic and, working over a bowl, scrape squash crosswise with a fork to remove flesh from shell.
4. Stir in butter, herbs and lemon juice. Season with salt and pepper.
5. Meanwhile, heat oil in an ovenproof skillet over high heat. Add sausages and cook until golden on one side.
6. Turn sausages over, place skillet in oven and continue cooking, turning occasionally for 8 minutes.
7. Combine mustard and honey and drizzle over sausages. Continue cooking until golden and cooked through. Remove sausages from pan and slice diagonally.
8. Divide lamb and squash equally on plates. Sprinkle with toasted pine nuts before serving.
