Best Spaghetti Squash Casserole In The Shell Recipes

SPAGHETTI SQUASH CASSEROLE

Steps:

• Cut squash in half lengthwise; scoop out seeds. Place with cut side down in a baking dish; add water. Cover and bake at 375° for 20-30 minutes or until it is easily pierced with a fork. When cool enough to handle, scoop out squash, separating the strands with a fork. In a skillet, cook beef, onion, red pepper and garlic until meat is browned and the vegetables are tender. Drain; add tomatoes, oregano, salt, pepper and squash. Cook and stir for 1-2 minutes or until liquid is absorbed. Transfer to an ungreased 1-1/2-qt. baking dish. Bake, uncovered, at 350° for 25 minutes. Sprinkle with the cheese and parsley; let stand a few minutes.

CHEESY SPAGHETTI SQUASH CASSEROLE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
• Brush the squash flesh with 1 tablespoon olive oil and sprinkle 1/8 teaspoon garlic-pepper over top; rub the edges and insides to make sure it's distributed evenly. Place on a baking sheet.
• Bake in the preheated oven until tender when pierced with a fork, 45 to 60 minutes.
• Meanwhile, heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large cast iron pan over low heat. Add mushrooms, onion, and jalapeno and cook, stirring occasionally, for 30 minutes. Add garlic and cook for about 10 more minutes. Move everything to the outside edges of the pan; add sausage, fennel seeds, salt, and pepper to the center. Cook and stir until pork is browned, crumbly, and no longer pink, about 10 minutes. Fold in the broccoli and remove from the heat.
• Remove squash from the oven and set aside to cool a bit. Leave the oven on.
• Mix chicken base, oregano, thyme, and basil together in a large bowl. Add Parmesan cheese and mix thoroughly. Add Cheddar and mozzarella and mix until well combined; it may be a little clumpy, but as long as it's only small clumps, that's okay.
• Shred squash flesh onto a sheet pan; use an oven mitt to hold it if it's still too hot. Toss with remaining garlic-pepper and season with salt and pepper if you want to. (Just remember the chicken base has a fair amount of salt in it already.)
• Spray an 11x13-inch baking dish with nonstick spray. Spread 1/2 of the shredded squash evenly over the bottom of the dish and top with 1/2 of the pork-vegetable mixture. Repeat for a second layer. Pour cream over the entire dish.
• Bake, uncovered, in the preheated oven for 30 minutes.

SPAGHETTI SQUASH CASSEROLE RECIPE BY TASTY

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.
