Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 medium spaghetti squash
  • 1 pound ground beef or turkey
  • 1 onion, chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 (24 ounce) jar marinara sauce
  • 15 ounces ricotta cheese
  • 1 egg
  • 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. Cut the spaghetti squash in half lengthwise and scoop out the seeds.
  3. Place the squash halves cut-side down on a baking sheet and roast for 40-50 minutes, or until tender.
  4. While the squash is roasting, cook the ground meat in a skillet over medium heat. Drain off any excess fat.
  5. Add the chopped onion and minced garlic to the skillet and cook until softened.
  6. Stir in the marinara sauce and simmer for 10 minutes.
  7. In a bowl, mix together the ricotta cheese, egg, parsley, salt, and pepper.
  8. Once the squash is tender, use a fork to scrape out the strands of spaghetti squash.
  9. Mix the spaghetti squash strands into the meat sauce.
  10. Spoon the meat sauce mixture into the hollows of the spaghetti squash halves.
  11. Top with the ricotta mixture and sprinkle with mozzarella and Parmesan cheeses.
  12. Bake for another 15-20 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
  13. Let cool slightly before serving.

Notes

  • You can add other vegetables like mushrooms or bell peppers to the meat sauce.
  • For a vegetarian option, use plant-based crumbles or extra vegetables instead of meat.
  • Adjust seasonings to your preference.
