Carbs Per Serving : 44 total recipe exluding tomato sauce Effort: Easy Ingredients: 3 cups spaghetti squash -- cooked, strands 1 egg -- beaten 1/3 cup parmesan cheese 1 tablespoon butter -- melted 1 cup ricotta cheese 1 egg -- beaten 1/2 pound ground beef -- or bulk Italian Sausage 1/2 cup chopped onion1/4 cup green pepper -- chopped 2 small cans tomato sauce 1 teaspoon garlic powder 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano -- crushed 1/2 teaspoon dried basil -- crushed 1 teaspoon dried parsley -- crushed 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese How to Prepare: Mix squash, 1 egg Parmesan Cheese and butter well. Press evenly into a 9' pie plate to form crust. Mix Ricotta and 1 egg and spread evenly over squash mixture in pie plate. In large skillet, brown meat with onion and green pepper. Drain off excess fat. Add tomato sauce and spices. Simmer a few minutes, then spoon over Ricotta mixture in pie plate. Bake at 350 for approximately 15 minutes. Sprinkle mozzarella over top, then bake an additional 5 Ð 10 minutes to melt cheese and set crust. Let sit 5 Ð 10 minutes before cutting. ------- Wondering about spaghetti squash? It is a sorta football-shaped squash, fairly large and quite yellow in color. Cut it in half lengthwise (it is pretty hard to cut-be careful!) and scoop out the seeds in the middle. To oven bake, place in a baking pan, cut side down, with 1' water. Bake at 350 for 20-30 minutes (until its somewhat soft). To microwave bake, place in glass pan, cut side down, with 1' water and nuke on med-high for at least 10 minutes (until somewhat soft). After cooking, use a fork to remove the pulp from the rind-it'll come out in spaghetti-like strands. The smallest one I've ever bought yielded 3 c. strands. Larger ones may yield 3 c. per half of the squash! |
