Time 1h45m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

nonstick cooking spray, for greasing
1 medium spaghetti squash
2 tablespoons olive oil, divided
1 medium yellow onion, diced
2 cloves garlic, minced
½ teaspoon red pepper flakes
1 lb ground beef
¼ cup tomato paste
1 can tomato, diced
2 teaspoons kosher salt
1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
½ cup fresh basil leaf, for serving

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 400˚F (200°C). Grease a 9 x 13-inch baking dish with nonstick spray.
  • On a cutting board, cut the spaghetti squash in half lengthwise. Scoop out the seeds and discard. Drizzle 1 tablespoon of olive oil over the cut sides of the squash, then transfer to a rimmed baking sheet, cut side-down.
  • Bake the squash until fork-tender, about 1 hour. Let the spaghetti squash cool for 5 minutes, then use a fork to pull the strands of spaghetti squash and transfer to a medium bowl.
  • In a large pot or Dutch oven, heat the remaining tablespoon of olive oil over medium-high heat. Once the oil begins to shimmer, add the onion and cook until softened and light golden, about 5 minutes. Add the garlic and red pepper flakes and cook, stirring constantly, until aromatic, about 1 minute.
  • Add the ground beef and cook, breaking up the meat with a wooden spoon, until browned and cooked through, about 5 minutes. Add the tomato paste and cook, stirring often, until combined, about 1 minute.
  • Add the diced tomatoes, salt, and pepper, and stir to combine. Bring to a simmer, cover, and cook for 5 minutes. Stir in the spaghetti squash until well combined.
  • Transfer the mixture to the prepared baking dish and spread in an even layer. Sprinkle the cheese over the casserole.
  • Bake until the cheese is melted and golden brown, about 20 minutes. Remove from the oven and let the casserole cool for 5 minutes.
  • Top with the basil, then serve.
  • Enjoy!

SPAGHETTI SQUASH I



Spaghetti Squash I image

The flesh of spaghetti squash comes out in long strands, very much resembling the noodles for which it is named. In this recipe, the 'noodles' are tossed with vegetables and feta cheese. You can substitute different vegetables, but be sure to use ones that have contrasting colors.

BAKED SPAGHETTI SQUASH



Baked Spaghetti Squash image

Once baked and scraped into noodle-like strands, spaghetti squash becomes a frequent pasta understudy, tossed with pesto, tomato sauce or roasted vegetables. But it's a versatile ingredient, as its mild flavor and gentle crunch also make it a good base for stews or even curries. For a basic roasted spaghetti squash recipe, follow Step 1, scrape the insides into strands, and be on your way. For a complete side dish, proceed with the rest of the recipe and top with herby breadcrumbs and Parmesan. You can also add mozzarella, which will melt into delicious little pools among the squash strands.

Time 1h10m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 large (3- to 4-pound) spaghetti squash, halved lengthwise and seeded
3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
Kosher salt and black pepper
1 cup freshly grated Parmesan
1/2 cup panko
1 garlic clove, grated
1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves
8 ounces mozzarella, cut into 1/2-inch cubes (optional)

Steps:

  • Heat the oven to 450 degrees. Brush the cut side of each squash half with 1 tablespoon olive oil, then season with salt and pepper. Place squash, cut-sides down, on a parchment-lined baking sheet and roast until the squash is tender when poked with a fork, 35 to 40 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, in a small bowl, stir together the Parmesan, panko, garlic, thyme and the remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil. Season with salt and pepper.
  • Flip the squash and use a fork to scrape the squash into spaghetti strands. Stir in half the mozzarella, if using, then sprinkle the squash with the remaining mozzarella and the panko mixture. Roast until the top is golden brown and mozzarella has melted, 20 to 25 minutes.
