Spaghetti Squash Lasagna
Each week I make one "meal" - either in the crock pot, on the stove, or in the oven - large volume - for dinners for the week. I'm just to busy to be cooking every night, and this way I know there's going to be something healthy and easy to grab either for lunch, or for dinner at night. This week's recipe was a new one - Spaghetti Squash Lasagna. And lemme tell ya - it was G O O D! And easy to make too! So good it needs to be shared. Right here. With you. You know, so you can make it for yourself/your family too. So here ya go:
Ingredients:
2 packages Fit and Trim Spicy Italian Chicken Sausage
1 cup of ricotta cheese (I used fat free)
3/4 cups of homemade or organic tomato sauce
3/4 cups of diced tomatoes (low salt/no added salt)
1 cooked spaghetti squash
2/3 cup of fresh shredded mozzarella cheese (I used part skim, and I never by the pre-shredded stuff - it has a "waxy" coating on it so it doesn't stick to itself, and I don't like coatings so I buy a block and shred it myself)
1. Preheat oven to 375.
2. Slice the chicken sausage thin - about 1/8" - 1/4" thick
3. Discard seeds from the squash and remove your “spaghetti”
4. Spray a casserole dish with a little cooking spray and begin the layering process!
5. First, spoon about half of your sauce and half your diced tomatoes on the bottom of the casserole dish
6. Then add half the spaghetti squash
7. Next comes half the sausage
8. Top that with about half the ricotta
9. Add a thin layer of mozzarella cheese, and then the rest of your diced tomatoes
10. Repeat layers - spaghetti squash, sausage, ricotta cheese
11. Top with the rest of your sauce and cover with the remaining mozzarella cheese
11. Bake until cheese is melty and bubbly – probably about 15 mins. If you want your cheese to brown more, increase time or raise temp to 400. Just keep an eye on it!
And that’s it! Super easy and soooooo good!
