Spaghetti Squash Casserole
SERVES 4

INGREDIENTS

4 cups cooked spaghetti squash
2 links Jennie-O lean Italian turkey sausage (hot or sweet)
1 cup Marinara
1 cup mushrooms, sliced
1/2 green bell pepper, diced
1 cup shredded 2% mozzarella cheese
1/2 cup red onion, diced
3 cloves garlic (adjust to taste)
1/4 cup parmesan cheese
Salt and pepper to taste

DIRECTIONS

If you don’t know how to cook a spaghetti squash check out this link - http://lowcarbdiets.about.com/od/cooking/a/spagsquash.htm

Cook sausage, garlic and onions in a pan and drain any excess fat, if you used lean turkey sausage there probably will be little to none. Add the peppers and mushrooms and cook until almost soft, pour off any excess water. Add marinara and heat through then add spaghetti squash, stir to mix and then pour into a casserole dish. Top with mozzarella and parmesan and chopped oregano then bake in 350F oven for about 15 minutes until cheese is melted and casserole is bubbling.

    I would brown the onions, then the garlic first in a little bit of olive oil before adding the sausage to enhance the flavour.

    I love squash but I haven't tried spaghetti squash yet. We shall see. :tongue:

    BEAUTIFUL Recipe !!! Looks amazing. I love love spaghetti squash.

    Going to be yummy. I have fresh basil at home, would be a great topper
    prior to melting that cheese

    If you added a single serving size of 1% cottage cheese with the spaghetti
    squash, it would add some cheesey creaminess to it too. I'm going to
    give that a shot

    THANKS so much for sharing !!
