Spaghetti Squash Lasagna Bowls
Ingredients
- 1 Tbsp. Olive Oil
- 1 Spaghetti Squash
- 1/2 Lb. Reduced Fat Italian Sausage
- 1 1/2 C. Marinara Sauce
- 7.5 Oz. Low Fat Ricotta
- 3/4 C. Fat Free Shredded Mozzarella
- 1 Tsp. Hot Sh!t Seasoning
- Salt & Pepper to Taste
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. and cover a baking sheet with foil or a silicone baking mat for easy clean up if desired.
- Cut the squash in half and scoop out the seeds to discard or use for something else. Brush 1/2 Tbsp. of the oil over either half of the squash and season with salt & pepper to taste.
- Place in the oven to bake for 40 minutes.
- While the squash is baking, cook the 1/2 Lb. Reduced Fat Italian Sausage in a medium skillet over medium high heat until browned and cooked through.
- Stir in the 1 C. of Marinara Sauce and continue to cook to warm through then remove from the heat and set aside.
- In a small bowl, stir together the 7.5 Oz. Low Fat Ricotta, 1/2 C. of Fat Free Shredded Mozzarella, 1 Tsp. Hot Sh!t Seasoning, and Salt & Pepper to Taste.
- Once the squash is done, remove it from the oven and carefully scrape up the squash with a fork to make your 'noodles'.
- Divide the prepared sauce and meat mixture evenly among the squash bowls, followed by the ricotta mixture. Top it all off with 1/4 C. of the remaining sauce and 2 Tbsp. of the remaining Fat Free Shredded Mozzarella.
- Place in the oven to bake for another 20-25 minutes or until the cheese on top has melted and it's all hot and bubbly.
- Once done, remove from the oven and enjoy right away!
