Spaghetti squash, like zucchini, can take over a garden. This is an excellent way to put that abundance to good use. I got the original recipe at a cooking class, and I've made it many times since. It's unique and tasty. -Mina Dick, Boissevain, Manitoba

Spaghetti Squash Casserole Recipe
  • Prep: 20 min. Bake: 45 min.
  • Yield: 6-8 Servings
20 45 65

Ingredients

  • 1 small spaghetti squash (1-1/2 to 2 pounds)
  • 1/2 cup water
  • 1 pound ground beef
  • 1/2 cup chopped onion
  • 1/2 cup chopped sweet red pepper
  • 1 garlic clove, minced
  • 1 cup canned diced tomatoes
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/8 teaspoon pepper
  • 1 cup (4 ounces) shredded mozzarella or cheddar cheese
  • 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley

Directions

  • Cut squash in half lengthwise; scoop out seeds. Place with cut side down in a baking dish; add water. Cover and bake at 375° for 20-30 minutes or until it is easily pierced with a fork. When cool enough to handle, scoop out squash, separating the strands with a fork. In a skillet, cook beef, onion, red pepper and garlic until meat is browned and the vegetables are tender. Drain; add tomatoes, oregano, salt, pepper and squash. Cook and stir for 1-2 minutes or until liquid is absorbed. Transfer to an ungreased 1-1/2-qt. baking dish. Bake, uncovered, at 350° for 25 minutes. Sprinkle with the cheese and parsley; let stand a few minutes. Yield: 6-8 servings.

This is a big hit with my family! My kids love it, although they want to know why the "noodles" are crunch!

Love this! Have won over hubby and company alike who generally dislike squash. Definitely a keeper

This recipe was amazing! I honestly was not sure what to expect; my first time cooking with spaghetti squash. I will definitely make this again! I used ground turkey instead of beef and added a little bit of mixed Italian seasonings in addition to plain oregano. Delicious!!

I was not a fan of this recipe at all. I felt it was lacking in seasoning, and was unappealing.

This was a very simple and easy hotdish, and also very yummy! If I want to stretch it more, I'd add some cooked macaroni to it.

I've made this twice, but substituted the groud beef for sausage and it's delish. A real hit in my house.

This is wonderful. I have made it several times now and everyone has loved it.

I have made this recipe so many times. It's totally yummy. Even my children enjoyed it when they were younger. Usually I substitute ground turkey for the beef.
