SPAGHETTI SQUASH "LASAGNA" WITH CHICKEN SAUSAGE



Spaghetti Squash

Provided by Alyssa Gagarin

Categories     main-dish

Time 50m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 cup raw cashews
1 teaspoon lemon juice or apple cider vinegar
2 tablespoons nutritional yeast
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1 large spaghetti squash (about 3 pounds)
2 teaspoons olive oil
1 white onion, sliced
1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
1 pound sweet chicken sausage
32 ounces jarred marinara sauce, such as Rao's, warmed
Cashew Ricotta
1 bunch fresh basil, thinly sliced (10 to 15 leaves)

Steps:

  • For the cashew ricotta: Bring a medium saucepan of water to a boil. Boil the cashews until softened, 5 to 8 minutes. Alternatively, place the cashews in a bowl and cover with water. Cover with plastic and soak until slightly softened, for at least 1 hour.
  • Drain the cashews using a slotted spoon and transfer them to a food processor. Reserve the soaking liquid.
  • Add the lemon juice, nutritional yeast and salt to the blender and pulse until finely ground. Add about 1/4 to 1/2 cup of the cashew soaking liquid a little at a time until the mixture is smooth, creamy and resembles ricotta cheese.
  • For the lasagna: Poke the squash all around with a fork, then microwave it in 5-minute increments, rotating in between, until the outside is soft and yields a little when pressed with your fingers, about 15 minutes total. Be careful when rotating and removing the squash, as it will become very hot.
  • Meanwhile, heat the oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the onions and cook until softened, 10 minutes. Add the vinegar and cook until the onions are golden brown, 10 minutes. If the onions dry out, add a dash of water to the skillet.
  • Remove the chicken sausage from its casings, add it to the skillet and cook, breaking it up in small crumbles with a wooden spoon, until browned and cooked through, 6 to 8 minutes.
  • When the squash is cool enough to handle, slice it in half, scoop out the seeds, then scrape out the flesh with a fork into a medium bowl. Discard the skin and seeds.
  • To assemble, layer the spaghetti squash, marinara sauce, sausage-and-onion mixture and cashew ricotta in four 30-ounce glass containers or a 9-by-13-inch baking dish. Top with the sliced basil and serve.

Number Of Ingredients 14

For the sauce:
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
1 tsp olive oil
1/2 onion, finely chopped
3 cloves garlic, minced
14 oz Italian chicken sausage
14 oz (1/2 can) crushed tomatoes (I prefer Tuttorosso)
salt and fresh pepper, to taste
2 tbsp chopped basil

Steps:

  • 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 until tender, cut side down. Allow spaghetti squash to cool 10 minutes before adding filling. In a small bowl combine the ricotta cheese, 2 tbsp parmesan cheese and parsley. To make the sauce, heat oil and add onions and garlic; sauté on medium-low for about 3 to 4 minutes, until soft in a large deep sauté pan. Add the sausage and cook, breaking up into smaller pieces until browned and cooked through. When cooked, add the crushed tomatoes and adjust salt and pepper to taste. Add the bay leaf and cover, reducing heat to low. Simmer 20 to 30 minutes, adding in fresh basil at the very end. When the spaghetti squash is cool enough to handle, use a fork to remove flesh, which will come out in spaghetti looking strands reserving the shells. Drain the squash on a paper towel to soak up any excess liquid, and then toss with half of the sauce. Place the spaghetti squash back into the 6 shells and place on a baking sheet. Top each with remaining sauce, 1 tbsp ricotta cheese mixture, and 2 tbsp mozzarella cheese. Bake the boats in the oven for 20 - 30 minutes, or until everything is hot, and the cheese is melted.

Categories     Side     Vegetarian     Casserole/Gratin

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 spaghetti squash
1 lb. fresh ricotta (drained well, using a colander)
2 28 oz. cans chopped tomatoes
1 cup Grana Padano cheese, grated
1 bunch basil, torn
1 tsp dried chili flakes
2 garlic cloves
1/2 cup olive oil
Salt and pepper

Steps:

  • Step 1: Preheat the Panasonic Convection Oven to 375°F. Step 2: Squash can take quite a long time to roast in the oven so at home I always cook it in the microwave, where it steams from the inside out and takes only 15-20 minutes. Start by piercing the spaghetti squash with a fork and set the microwave on high for 15 minutes. Using a knife to check the squash, when it is finished cooking, it should easily cut to the centre without any resistance. Step 3: Set the Induction Cooktop to heat level 6 and sauté the garlic and chilies in the olive oil. Once the garlic has become translucent, add the chopped tomatoes, a generous amount of salt and cook for an additional 10 minutes. Step 4: Once the ricotta has drained, place it in a separate bowl and incorporate a little olive oil, salt and pepper. Step 5: Once the spaghetti squash has cooked and cooled slightly, cut it in half and using a fork, pull away at the strands of cooked squash. You'll see its resemblance to spaghetti as you do. Reserve in a bowl. Step 6: Using a Pyrex or other baking dish, build the lasagna in this order: squash, tomato sauce, then ricotta. Don't forget to add some torn basil into the dish as you assemble it. Since the layers for this dish are thicker than traditional lasagna, you should only need 2-3 layers. Step 7: Top with grated Grana Padano cheese and bake for 15 minutes.

ZUCCHINI & SPAGHETTI SQUASH "LASAGNA" RECIPE - (4.4/5)



Zucchini & Spaghetti Squash

Provided by NailCandy

Number Of Ingredients 7

2 About 2 cups Homemade sauce (or your favorite red sauce)
1 medium zucchini thinly sliced (I used the slice setting on my cheese grater)
2-2 1/2 About 2-2 1/2 cups cooked spaghetti squash
1/2 cup fat free ricotta cheese
3 oz fancy shredded mozzarella cheese
Ground pepper
Dried parsley flakes

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. In a casserole dish, smear a little of the sauce on the bottom to prevent sticking then begin layering zucchini, top with a bit of squash, dab on ricotta (I crumpled the best I can to cover the area), sprinkle with a bit of the shredded cheese, add some sauce repeat until you are out of ingredients. Repeat the layering until you are out of ingredients. Be sure the save a bit of mozzarella cheese for the top. If you use fancy shredded cheese it tends to go a bit further. Sprinkle the top with some ground pepper and dried parsley. Bake uncovered for at about 45 minutes until zucchini is tender. During the baking process there will be a lot of water, no pasta to soak it up. About every 10-15 minutes use a turkey baster to remove some excess water. You will be able to get 6 servings like the one pictured above.
