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?

Steps

1
Done

Preheat the oven to 350 °F.

2
Done

Cut spaghetti squash lengthwise in half and scoop out the seeds. Arrange the squash halves, cut sides up, on a baking sheet. Bake for 50 minutes; let rest 10 minutes. Gently scrape insides of spaghetti squash with a fork and transfer them onto a kitchen towel. Squeeze out the juices.

3
Done

Heat oil in a skillet. Add thinly sliced garlic and cook until translucent, about 30 seconds. Stir in spinach and cook until wilted, about 1 minute. Remove from heat.

4
Done

In a bowl, mix the spinach mixture, squash strands, ricotta cheese, salt, and half of the shredded mozzarella cheese.

5
Done

Return the skillet to moderately high heat. Add turkey and cook, continuously stirring, until golden brown (about 4 minutes) before adding the marinara sauce. Cover, reduce heat to medium, and simmer for 4 minutes. Remove from heat.

6
Done

Increase the oven temperature to 425 °F.

7
Done

Coat insides of spaghetti squash with the sauce. Cover with an even layer of squash mixture. Top with the remaining shredded mozzarella and grated Parmesan. Bake for 20 minutes.

8
Done

Keeping the squash in the oven, preheat the broiler to high. Broil squash until cheese is golden brown and bubbly, about 1 minute. Remove from the oven and let rest for 10 minutes before serving.

Spaghetti squash lasagna is an insanely satisfying and comforting dish that makes it super easy to sneak in your daily vegetable servings. Just you try and resist it!

I am an English major with a love of languages and fiction, and with an incurable travel bug. In my free time, I read fantasy, drink copious amounts of coffee, and like to go see movies. Culinary art means everything to me. My main hypostasis is the taster, though. The music school has taught me to appreciate the symphony of airy meringues, to create harmonious overtures of light snacks, hard rock of meat, fish, and vegetables on the grill. Choir classes have accustomed me to hear and feel the people nearby and create perfect harmonies of sounds.
