Now that you have had a chance to make the chicken fingers and tomato sauce, time to create awesomeness!
Shout out to the amazing Tasty blog on Facebook for the brilliant idea!
Grab your chicken strips and sauce from the last post, as well as a small spaghetti squash and some Parmesan cheese. (no picture of the cheese because I'm an airhead)
Use a sharp chef's knife, cleaver, battle axe to hack open the squash length-wise and gut the thing. If you're super thrifty you can save the seeds for roasting or for planting next year, or just toss the whole lot in the compost (so that your psychotic kitten doesn't try to eat it.... -_-;)
Cook the squash however you like. Microwave, oven, toaster oven, upside down or right side up. Doesn't matter to me as long as it is cooked. I chose to nuke it for 10 minutes.
Fast forward 10 minutes and your squash should be just below fork tender. See the below fork.
Grab your tomato sauce and spread a nice layer over the squash.
Top with three to four chicken fingers.
Add another layer of tomato sauce and top with a little or a lot of Parmesan cheese.
Option A: Bake in the oven at 350 F until the cheese is bubbly and you are starving. (I chose A)
Option B: Nuke in the microwave until the cheese is bubble and you are starving.

Go with whatever floats your boat, but serve with a glass of local red wine.
Makes roughly four servings, depending on the size of the squash.
NB: You can also take the spaghetti out of the squash, place in a greased casserole dish, and follow the steps after (tomato, chicken, tomato and cheese) and cook until the cheese is bubbly.
