Spaghetti Squash

Instructions:

  1. Cut the spaghetti squash in half lengthwise and remove the seeds. Place the squash halves, cut side down, in a baking dish. Bake at 375°F for 30-40 minutes, or until the squash is tender.
  2. While the squash is baking, brown the ground turkey in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the onion and garlic and cook until the onion is translucent.
  3. Add the crushed tomatoes, tomato sauce, basil, oregano, parsley, salt, and pepper to the skillet. Simmer for 10-15 minutes.
  4. In a separate bowl, mix together the cottage cheese, Parmesan cheese, and egg.
  5. Once the squash is done baking, remove it from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes. Then, use a fork to scrape the flesh of the squash into spaghetti-like strands.
  6. In a 9x13 inch baking dish, spread a layer of the turkey mixture on the bottom. Add a layer of spaghetti squash on top of the turkey. Then, add a layer of the cottage cheese mixture on top of the spaghetti squash. Repeat the layers until all of the ingredients are used up, ending with a layer of turkey mixture on top.
  7. Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese over the top of the lasagna.
  8. Bake the lasagna at 375°F for 30-40 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
  9. Let the lasagna cool for a few minutes before serving.
