In-Season Recipe:Spaghetti Squash Lasagna Boats

If you don’t know what to do with these pasta impersonators, here is a tasty recipe that is healthy, low-sugar and gluten-free!

Ingredients:

3 small to medium spaghetti squash (about 5 cups cooked)
salt and fresh pepper, to taste
1/3 cup part skim ricotta cheese
2 tbsp grated parmesan cheese
1 tbsp chopped parsley (or basil)
3/4 cup whole milk shredded mozzarella cheese

For the sauce:

1 tsp olive oil
1/2 onion, finely chopped
3 cloves garlic, minced
14 oz Italian sausage
14 oz (1/2 can) crushed tomatoes or homemade tomato sauce
salt and fresh pepper, to taste
2 tbsp chopped basil

Directions:

Preheat oven to 400ºF. Cut spaghetti squash in half lengthwise and scoop out seeds and membrane. Season lightly with salt and black pepper; bake about 1 hour, or longer if needed on a baking sheet, cut side down.  If you prefer the microwave, cut squash in half lengthwise, scoop out seeds and fibers and place on a microwave safe dish and cover. Microwave 8-9 minutes or until soft.
