Spaghetti Squash Lasagna (NO PASTA! WOO!)


Squash:

Stab multiple holes in both squash's for ventilation.
Boil Squash(s) until each can be easily penetrated with a fork (not too soft, though... you don't want it to fall apart!)
Cut open each squash and gut the seeds.


Sauce

1) Chicken:
Pull apart ground chicken place in a frying pan with a small amount of Olive Oil
Cook until cooked thoroughly

2.) Veggies:
Chop/Dice the onion and the bell pepper
Place both in a frying pan with a small amount of Olive Oil
Also, add garlic in the pan.
Saute until onions are caramelized and bell peppers are soft(er).


*Place chicken and grilled veggies in a larger pot
*Add both jars of sauce
*Add sliced tomato's to sauce
*Bring sauce to a low boil, and then let simmer.



Lasagna:
Use a fork to scrape out the sqash. Layer the first squash in a pyrex baking dish.
Next, make a thin layer of the sauce on top of the squash.
Next, grate some Mozzarella cheese over the sauce.

^ Repeat these steps for second layer.


Bake lasagna at 475 for approximately 25-40 minutes. You may use a lower temperature and cook a bit longer. All ovens seem to do this a bit differently, in my experience.

When the cheese is melted and lightly browned, you're set!

Let cool, and serve!
