A weeknight favorite: spaghetti squash casserole for two 💛 Light, satisfying, and full of flavor.
Ingredients:
1 medium spaghetti squash
1 tbsp olive oil
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 carton cherry tomatoes, halved
1 carton mushrooms, sliced
1/2 cup cottage cheese
Salt & pepper, to taste
1/4 cup breadcrumbs
1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1 tbsp olive oil or melted butter
Pinch of salt
Instructions
Preheat oven to 400°F
Cut spaghetti squash in half lengthwise. Scoop out seeds.
Drizzle with olive oil, sprinkle with salt and pepper. Roast cut-side down for about 35–40 minutes, until fork-tender.
Once done, let cool slightly, then scrape out the “noodles” with a fork and set aside.
While squash is roasting, heat a pan with olive oil. Sauté garlic then add mushrooms. Cook until browned.
Add cherry tomatoes. Season with salt and pepper
In a bowl, mix the noodles, sautéed veggies, and squash noodles; Season with more salt and pepper
Re-stuff the saved shells with the filling
In a small bowl, mix breadcrumbs, parmesan, olive oil, and a pinch of salt.
Sprinkle this mixture over the top. Broil uncovered for an additional 20 minutes
