Step 1

Place each squash half in a microwave-safe bowl. Fill bowls with water and cover with plastic wrap.

Heat each bowl separately in the microwave on high for 10-12 minutes.

Meanwhile, heat a large skillet over medium heat; add ground beef substitute and sprinkle with Cajun seasoning. Cook until crumbly and beginning to brown, 5 to 7 minutes. Add pasta sauce and reduce heat to low.
