Spaghetti squash, like zucchini, can take over a garden. This is an excellent way to put that abundance to good use. I got the original recipe at a cooking class, and I've made it many times since. It's unique and tasty. -Mina Dick, Boissevain, Manitoba

YELLOW SQUASH SPAGHETTI CASSEROLE



Yellow Squash Spaghetti Casserole image

This is tasty enough that even my husband likes it...and if you knew him, you would know how remarkable of a statement that is! You can modify this quite a bit by adding onions, or additional toppings like olives or pepperoni slices depending on your tastes. You can also vary the cheeses by adding in feta or mozzarella. Prep time is made very quick with a Cuisinart or other food processor...easy meal to throw together at the last second.

Time 1h45m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

nonstick cooking spray, for greasing
1 medium spaghetti squash
2 tablespoons olive oil, divided
1 medium yellow onion, diced
2 cloves garlic, minced
½ teaspoon red pepper flakes
1 lb ground beef
¼ cup tomato paste
1 can tomato, diced
2 teaspoons kosher salt
1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
½ cup fresh basil leaf, for serving

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.
  • Top with the basil, then serve.
  • Enjoy!
