Spaghetti Squash Lasagna (No Pasta Noodles) image

A lower calorie and health version of an old favorite. Also known as how I got my son to eat Spaghetti Squash. Some times I tried to sneak in baby Portabella mushrooms, but DS never would eat when I did. Prep time doesn't include the cooking of the spaghetti squash which can be done in the microwave and takes about 13 minutes.
