Recipe
There are a lot of lasagnas out there: classic lasagna with meat sauce, potato lasagna, fake lasagna, and even pumpkin cheesecake dessert lasagna. Today, Cook It is beyond excited to share with you yet another, super healthy, version. We’re talking about spaghetti squash lasagna with ground turkey and spinach.
Calling it lasagna may be the tiniest bit of a stretch. However, it does have everything we love about the classic. Case in point: it rocks a blanket of ooey-gooey, stretchy cheese, tangy marinara sauce, and an appetizing, out-of-this-world aroma. Yet using spaghetti squash boats instead of lasagna noodles transforms it into a light and healthy weeknight meal option. What more could you possibly need?

726929 418147The book is great, but this review is not exactly spot-on. Being a Superhero is far more about selecting foods that heal your body, not just eating meat/dairy-free. Processed foods like those mentioned in this review arent what Alicia is trying to promote. In case you arent open to sea vegetables (and yes, Im talking sea weed), just stop at vegan. 309546
