    another yummy recipe someone else posted, made it a couple of times now, was a HUGE HIT!! I did alter it slightly - used about 1/2 of a 16oz tub of lite cottage cheese, and probably a lot more Mozzarella than was needed, but was SO GOOD!!! I just used 1 pound of ground turkey, and dumped in a bunch of Italian Seasoning (from Costco). Sorry, I don't have the nutrition info on it.

    Spaghetti Squash Lasagna

    1 Spaghetti Squash
    1 Jar Marinara
    1 On the Go 2% Cottage Cheese (4oz) -** I used about half of a 16oz container**
    Part skim Mozzarella (or 2% equivalent) - ** I used 2 pkgs (2 cup pkgs) - so about 4 cups total***
    Parmesan Cheese
    1 pkg Jenni-o Italian Seasoned Ground Turkey or Italian Turkey Sausage ** I used 1 lb ground turkey with Italian Seasoning**

    Cut the Squash length wise and scoop out seeds and strings (I use a ice cream scoop makes it much easier)
    Spray cookie sheet with Pam place cut side down and bake at 350 for about 40-45 mins
    Take out of the oven, flip them over to cool
    While cooling....
    Brown Ground Turkey Drain off fat
    Add Marinara
    Add Cottage Cheese
    Then scrape a fork across the Squash to make "spaghetti like strands" carefully they may still be hot.....
    Place in a large bowl
    Add the Sauce mixture and mix together
    in a 13x9 pan add half the mixture and sprinkle with mozzarella (how much depends on how cheesy or how calorie laden you want the dish... I use about a 1/2 cup on each layer) ** I used 1 pkg per layer -about 2 cups**
    Sprinkle with Parmesan
    Add the other half of Squash mixture, Mozzarella and Parmesan
    Bake at 350 until Bubbly and cheese has melted.....

    p.s there will be "water" in the bottom of the pan as I think it's from the squash’s natural moisture....just let it drain a bit befoe placing on your plate or in your bowl....

    Spaghetti squash is quite the opposite... more like crunchy/crisp pasta. It's fantastic.

    And OP, thanks for posting this. I do squash for my meatsauce all the time. Never thought about using it for other "pasta dishes."
