Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F; then add the sausage links to a pan. Bake for 12-15 minutes until brown and plump on the outside. Remove from the oven; then slice the links diagonally.

Cut the squash in half lengthwise; then scrape out the seeds. Place the squash flesh side down on a microwave safe plate; then add 2-tablespoons of water. Cook on high for 15 minutes or until the outer layer is soft to touch.

Remove the plate from the microwave (it will be hot so use a potholder). When it&#39;s time to assemble, use a fork to scrape out the inside flesh. It will look like spaghetti strands.

Melt the butter in a large pot over high heat; then add the garlic. Saute for 1 minute; then add the flour to form a roux.

Next, add the half and half, grated cheese and cajun seasoning. Whisk together over high heat for 3-5 minutes until the sauce thickens; then reduce heat to low and keep warm.

Add the sliced sausage to the sauce and simmer while you scrape out the squash strands. Add the squash to the sauce, mix well.

Add the mixture evenly back into the spaghetti squash shells or you can place into a 9x13 casserole dish. Top with the shredded cheese; then bake in the preheated 425 degree F oven for 10 minutes or until the cheese has melted.
