Parmesan Spaghetti Squash with Kielbasa & Pine Nuts

1 medium sized spaghetti squash
1/2 lbs kielbasa
1/3 cup pine nuts
1/2 cup Parmesan cheese
1 clove garlic, minced
a pinch of salt
freshly ground pepper

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. With a sharp knife, pierce several holes around the entire squash (this will let it steam while cooking and prevent it from exploding!). Place the squash on a baking sheet and roast in the oven for 50-60 minutes (until the skin is tender). While the squash is roasting, toast the pine nuts in a pan over medium/low heat turning constantly. These have a tendency to burn very quickly so keep them moving around the pan and keep your eye on them. When they are beginning to turn golden brown, remove from heat and set aside in a small bowl. In a large skillet over medium heat, brown the kielbasa. Bite sized pieces are preferable. Once they are browned, remove from heat and set aside. Carefully remove the squash from the oven and cut it in half lengthwise (watch out for the steam!). Remove the seeds from the inside of the squash and discard (or save them for toasting later). Using a fork, pull the strands of squash out of the shell and place in a clean bowl. In a large skillet heat a few tablespoons of olive oil with the garlic over medium heat. Cook until the garlic begins to soften. Add the strands of spaghetti squash to the skillet. Mix in the Parmesan cheese, salt and pepper. Add the pine nuts and kielbasa, mixing until sufficiently heated. Sprinkle with Parmesan before serving.
