I like baked spaghetti but since I'm doing WW I thought I'd try a healthier version using spaghetti squash instead of pasta. Halfway through dinner I couldn't hold in my "secret" any longer and had to tell Mike that he was eating spaghetti squash. He had no idea!
Recipe
1 medium spaghetti squash, cooked (yields ~ 4 C. of squash)
1 24 oz jar marinara sauce
1 lb. extra lean ground beef
1 egg
1/4 C. parmesan cheese, grated
1/4 C. onion, chopped
1 C. part skim mozzarella cheese, shredded
Garlic salt
Brown ground beef in a frying pan with the onion and a dash of garlic salt. Add marinara sauce and combine thoroughly. Meanwhile, beat the egg and pour over spaghetti squash. Add parmesan cheese and toss to coat. Grease a 9x13 pan with cooking spray, pour the spaghetti squash mixture into the pan and spread it out evenly. Pour the meat sauce over the spaghetti squash, and then sprinkle the mozzarella cheese over the top of the dish. Cover with foil and bake at 350 degrees for 45 minutes. Remove foil and bake for 15 more minutes.
Comments
- Next time I make this I'll have to figure out a way to remove some of the water from the squash before starting the recipe
- This recipe makes 8 servings, which I've calculated to be 5 WW PointsPlus per serving
