I made spaghetti squash with a sausage sauce last night.. It was super good.

The day before I made the sauce.
1 lb ground sausage
3 cloves garlic, sliced
1 huge (28 oz) crushed tomatoes
1/2 tbs balsamic vinegar
salt
pepper
dried oregano
dried basil

Brown the sausage. Add the garlic and cook until you can smell the garlic. Drain the fat. Dump in the can of tomatoes. Add the rest of the ingredients. Allow to cook at low until the sauce thickens slightly. Put in a heat proof container then store in the fridge until the next night.

The night you want to eat, boil the spaghetti squash for 30 minutes. When the squash has 10 more minutes, reheat the sauce on the stove (the microwave works too). Fork the squash and serve with the sauce. Add grated parmesan to taste.

I had this for dinner last night. My whole family loved it. We had broccoli too. YUMMY

Another quick and protein-rich one from me - Tomato Tuna sauce (should serve 4):

2 small cans of tuna in oil (or fresh tuna if you like)
1 small pack (500g/17oz.) of tomato passata (Italian "Polpa" - unspiced tomato sauce; don't know how this is called in the US)
a few fresh cherry tomatoes or tomato paste (to improve the taste of the passata)
2-4 cloves of garlic
Italian style herb mix (if you can't find it, get some dried oregano, rosemary and basil)
salt
pepper

1) Put the passata in a pot, heat it up (don't bring to boil)
2) Pour away the oil from the tuna, add the tuna to the passata; If you like, add the cherry tomatoes
3) Finely chop the garlic and add it (or use a garlic press)
4) Bring to boil, then reduce heat and let it simmer at lower heat for some time
5) Season with Italian style herbs, salt, pepper (or tomato paste) as you like

Of course you can adapt the recipe as you like, e.g. by adding olives or adding finely chopped carrots.
