Spaghetti Squash Casserole Recipe
Ingredients
1 spaghetti squash
1/2 cup water (enough to cover bottom of baking dish to steam squash)
1 pound ground lean turkey
1/2 cup chopped onion (you could also add ½ cup of chopped bell pepper if you like)
1 clove garlic, minced
1 jar of pasta sauce (26 ounces)
1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
1/8 teaspoon pepper
6 oz. shredded cheddar cheese
Directions
Wash the spaghetti squash, then cut it in half lengthwise and scoop out seeds. Place spaghetti squash, cut side down, in a baking dish;
In a large skillet, cook the ground turkey, onion, bell pepper (if using), and garlic until meat is browned and vegetables are tender. Add oregano, pepper, pasta sauce, and squash. Continue to cook and stir until liquid is absorbed, about 2 minutes.
Transfer mixture to an ungreased casserole dish; stir in 5 oz. of the shredded cheddar cheese. Bake uncovered at 350° for 25 minutes. Sprinkle spaghetti squash with remaining grated cheddar cheese and cook until cheese is melted, about 5 minutes longer.
We like to serve it with a side salad. Enjoy!
SOUNDS YUMMY! i tried spaghetti squash once, but i microwaved it...i dont think i cooked it as well as it should have, because the texture was kind of stiff...maybe if i oven bake it next time, i'll get better resultes.
