Cheesy Stuffed Spaghetti Squash
I was craving a cheesy dish but not the heavy feeling of the pasta that comes with it. This dish is a good compromise and a good way to get the kids to eat more veggies. Add some cooked and sliced chicken to make it even more hearty.

Cooking Instructions
- 1
Preheat oven to 400 °F. Start by roasting the squash. Slice in half lengthwise and scoop out the seeds. Lightly spread the olive oil around the cut rims of the squash and place, cut side down, on a rimmed baking tray covered with tinfoil. Bake for 30-40 minutes, until tender. Set aside to allow to cool enough to handle.
- 2
Lower oven heat to 350°F.
- 3
In a medium skillet, melt the butter and cook the garlic until fragrant, about 2-3 minutes. Add the spinach and cook, stirring frequently, until it has wilted.
- 4
Add the cream, ricotta, and parmesan cheese to the skillet. Season to taste.
- 5
Keep at low heat until the cheese is melted and incorporated all together. Remove from heat.
- 6
Use a fork to fluff the strands of spaghetti squash from the shell. Pour half the spinach sauce over each squash half and stir into the squash.
- 7
Top each squash half with 1/2 cup of mozzarella cheese.
- 8
Bake at 350°F for 15 minutes, then set oven to broil for an additional 3-5 minutes, until the cheese is golden on top.

Spaghetti Squash Lasagna Spaghetti Squash Lasagna
Just a lighter alternative to pasta but with all the classic flavors of lasagna. You can roast the squash up to a day ahead of time to make this a quicker weeknight meal option. For a larger serving amount, simply roast 2 squash and double the rest of the ingredients. This is also delicious with extra veggies added in, such as mushrooms, zucchini coins, diced bell peppers or some spinach. Just incorporate cooking the veggies in the skillet in steps 3-4.
