- 1½ lbs. sweet Italian sausage links
- ½ cup water

Brown sausage links in a non-stick skillet.
Add water to the skillet and continue to cook sausage over medium heat for 5-7 minutes.
Remove sausage from skillet and slice into rounds – it’s okay if it’s not cooked all the way through, it will finish cooking in the slow cooker.
Add peppers, onion and garlic to the skillet and cook until its tender-crisp.
Put the sausage, veggies and remaining ingredients except the spaghetti squash into the slow cooker.
Cook on high for 4-5 hours or on low for 7-8 hours. Serve sauce over spaghetti squash.
