Meet the Cook: Don't be fooled by this recipe...it only looks complicated. One of our daughters (both grown) passed it on - along with squash from her first garden! -Glenafa Vrchota, Mason City, Iowa

Prep: 25 min. Bake: 1 hour

Yield: 6 Servings

25 60 85

Ingredients

1 medium spaghetti squash (about 8 inches)
1 tablespoon butter
1/2 pound sliced fresh mushrooms
1 large onion, chopped
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 teaspoon dried basil
1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
1/4 teaspoon dried thyme
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper
2 medium tomatoes, chopped
1 cup dry bread crumbs
1 cup ricotta cheese

Directions

Slice the squash in half lengthwise and scoop out the seeds. Place squash, cut side down, in a baking dish. Add 1/2-in. water and cover tightly with foil. Bake at 375° for 20-30 minutes or until easily pierced with a fork.
Meanwhile, melt butter in a large skillet. Add the mushrooms, onion, garlic, basil, oregano, thyme, salt and pepper; saute until onion is tender. Add tomatoes; cook until most of the liquid has evaporated. Set aside.
Scoop out the squash, separating strands with a fork. Combine the squash, tomato mixture, bread crumbs, ricotta cheese and parsley.
Transfer to a greased 2-qt. baking dish. Sprinkle with Parmesan cheese. Bake, uncovered, at 375° for 40 minutes or until heated through and top is golden brown. Yield: 6 servings.

I really enjoyed this recipe. It was fairly easy to make and turned out to be a hit for the entire family.

I really loved how everything went together so well. I don't add ricotta cheese or bread crumbs, instead I add more tomatoes to keep it on the healthier side.

FANTASTIC!!!! This is the first time I've ever tried spaghetti squash and it was a hit with the whole family. My 3 year old will NOT eat anything that resembles vegetables, but ate all of this, including the other veggies that are mixed in. I think this just became a staple in out house! ;-)
