This recipe skips the spaghetti squash prep: halve the squash, sprinkle salt & pepper, drizzle some EVOO to coat, then 40-45 minutes at 400 degrees. This dish was a big hit at our house. If you skip the cheese, it’s under 300 calories per serving.
I made this for dinner last Wednesday and it was delicious! I’m pretty sure it’s my new favorite way to eat spaghetti squash! 🙂 I used a shredded Italian cheese blend and stirred a handful of that in to the dish, in addition to what I sprinkled on top. I also pulsed a handful of croutons in my processor and sprinkled those on top to broil with the cheese for the last couple of minutes. Thanks for a great recipe!
This was amazing! My husband raved about and asked me to make it again two days later 🙂
I also had some of the leftovers the next morning with an overeasy egg over the top – it may be my new favorite breakfast.
I love spaghetti squash, so this was right down my alley. My husband is not as much of a fan, but I wanted to give this a try.
I added some mushrooms too, and my spaghetti squash was a bit big (around 3 lbs), so I added about a cup of my homemade marinara along with the diced tomatoes to the sauce. Instead of adding the shredded cheese to the mix, I put half of it in my casserole dish, then did a layer of provolone cheese, then the rest on top. I baked at 20 minutes, then topped with cheese and finished it off. This was really tasty! The spaghetti squash wasn’t overcooked and had a great texture in this recipe. I cooked my 3 pounder on a sheet pan with a bit of water for around 30 minutes, then checked to see if it was done. I was worried the double baking would make it mushy, but it was perfect!
But wait for it…..HUBBY AT 2 HELPINGS!!! And he just sent me a text saying he was telling his buddy at work about it, and he wanted the link for the recipe! I almost fell over today after this one!!! This is DEFINITELY on the rotation. He mentioned adding a little ricotta next time like my baked ziti (where I added the provolone in this round, I would add ricotta mixed with a little pesto to flavor it up). Such a great recipe!!!!
Ingredients:
1 spaghetti squash, halved and seeded
2 tablespoons olive oil

I’ve made this twice so far. The first time exactly as shown and we loved it! My 5 and 3 year old girls loved it along with my husband. The second time while at the store I couldn’t find a spaghetti squash, and so, having already done my meal planning, got an eggplant instead and that worked great. Not sure what that change did to the carb count, but peeled, cubed and sautéed with the turkey before baking, the eggplant made a good substitution. Not as good as the squash, but definitely a good option when in need.
This was so good!!! I made a couple of modifications to use what I had on hand: instead of shredded cheese, I put slices of provolone on top in the last 10 minutes of baking; also, I had plain diced tomatoes in tomato sauce, so took a little longer to cook off liquid, and I added a little more seasoning (Savory Spice Italian Herb Blend) since the canned tomatoes weren’t seasoned.
Ingredients:
aluminum foil
1 spaghetti squash, halved and seeded
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 teaspoon salt, divided, or more to taste
1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper, divided, or more to taste
1 pound ground turkey
1 (16 ounce) can diced tomatoes
8 fresh asparagus, trimmed and cut into
1/2 inch pieces
1/2 yellow onion, diced
1/4 cup chopped fresh basil, or to taste
4 garlic cloves, minced
1 teaspoon dried oregano
4 ounces chicken broth
Directions:
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil.
Coat inside of each spaghetti squash half with olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Place spaghetti squash, skin-side up, on the prepared baking sheet.
Roast spaghetti squash in the preheated oven until skin can easily be pierced with a fork, 30 to 45 minutes.
Meanwhile, cook ground turkey in a skillet over medium heat until browned. Combine tomatoes, asparagus, onion, basil, garlic, oregano, salt, and pepper in a bowl and mix well. Add to browned ground turkey in the skillet. Cook, stirring occasionally, about 5 minutes. Pour in chicken broth and cook until asparagus is slightly tender, about 5 more minutes.
Remove cooked spaghetti squash from oven and let cool until easily handled. Scrape squash into spaghetti strands using a fork and place into a bowl. Try to maintain the integrity of the squash skin and you can using as a serving vessel.
Place 1/2 the spaghetti squash into a serving dish or the squash skin and top with turkey-vegetable mixture.
Note:
You can use fresh tomatoes instead of canned.
