Giving spaghetti squash another try!

M and I have tried spaghetti squash a couple times in the past two years, usually not being impressed. So when I came home with one two weeks ago, M groaned and I stuck it in the fridge. Tonight I was looking for something yummy to make and found that spaghetti squash and sorta made a spaghetti squash lasagna. 

The recipe is below, hopefully you enjoy it! 

Ingredients: 

1 spaghetti squash

1 tbs oil

1/2 onion chopped

2 cloves of garlic

1/2 lb sausage

1 can of no salt added diced tomatoes

1 tsp of oregano 

1 tsp basil ( I added a little more a couple shakes)

Red pepper flakes 

1/4 cup of part skim ricotta cheese

1/4 cup of cottage cheese

Italian blend shredded cheese to sprinkle on top.

Directions: 

1) Preheat oven to 400

2) Slicesquash, spoon out seeds and rub with oil, then sprinkle with salt and pepper

3) Place face down in a baking dish and cook for 50 minutes.

4) With 15 minutes left to cooking, in a large saucepan cook sausage, onion and garlic

5) Once browned add tomatoes and spices.

6) When it bubbles, reduce the heat and simmer 3-4 minutes.

7) Meanwhile, combine ricotta and cottage cheese. Add some salt and pepper

8) When squash is done, flip over and fill with cheese mixture, then meat mixture and sprinkle with Italian blend.

9) Put back in oven under broil for 1 min till cheese is bubbly. Serve! 

So it changed our opinion, we both enjoyed it and I will definitely be picking up another squash when I'm at the store!
