Cheese mixture
1/2 of a 24 ounce container of cottage cheese.
1 cup of mozzarella cheese, shredded
1/4 cup Parmesan cheese
Fresh spinach 1 large handful
Fresh basil
Fresh oregano (optional) I had it available.
1 tablespoon Italian seasoning
1 teaspoon red pepper flakes
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon onion powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon pepper
1/2 jar pasta sauce
Directions
Wash your spaghetti squash. This will prevent pathogens from entering into the squash when you cut into it.
Cut the end off of your spaghetti squash.
Cut into four rings.
Be very careful cutting the spaghetti squash. I like to rock the squash as I’m cutting it to help it along. Safety first.
Scrape out the seeds and loose guts with a spoon or a knife.
Spray or brush, avocado oil or olive oil on your rings. Sprinkle with salt and pepper.
Bake your rings at 400° for about 35 to 40 minutes, or until the edges are golden and the sides are soft. Remove from oven.
Prepare your mixture while the spaghetti squash is baking.
To make the cheese mixture, add your cottage cheese, mozzarella, and Parmesan cheeses, spices, spinach, fresh basil, fresh oregano.
The oregano is optional I had it available so I used it. There is oregano in the Italian seasoning so this isn’t necessary to add. Or you can add some dry oregano if you like. Not too much, oregano is potent, a little goes along way.
Once your spaghetti squash has browning around the edges. It’s close to done. This is when you will add your cheese mixture.
First, you’re going to pull the spaghetti strings into the middle of your ring to form a nest to sit your cheeses onto.
Add a nice size scoop of the cheese mixture in the middle of the nested ring.
Add about 2 tablespoons of pasta sauce on top of the cheese mixture. Top with shredded mozzarella cheese.
Bake an additional 10 to 15 minutes or until the cheese melts. You can crank up the oven to 450 or to broil the cheese if you’d like it a little charred.
Garnish with fresh basil or parsley.
The spaghetti squash is a fruit, but it is treated like a vegetable in cooking. Spaghetti squash is a fruit because it grows from a flower and contains seeds.
Spaghetti squash is often prepared like a vegetable because it has a savory taste and silky texture. It is versatile and nutritious, and it has a mildly sweet flavor and tangy texture. It’s the perfect substitute for pasta and can help reduce calories and carbs while adding flavor.
The cottage cheese provides high protein. When you bake the cottage cheese, it becomes creamy and delicious. The melted cheeses and the pasta sauce combined makes a delicious sauce.
