Slightly modified from Cooking Light.
2 Small spaghetti squash (about 1 1/2 lb each)
2 teaspoon olive oil
4 clove garlic, minced
1/2 cup ricotta cheese
1/8 teaspoon kosher salt
1 cup mozzarella cheese, shredded
1/2 pound ground beef, venison, turkey or chicken
1 1/2 cup marinara sauce
1/4 cup parmesan cheese, grated
Instructions: Cut squash in half, scoop out seeds, and place cut side down on a jelly roll pan with a little water. Bake at 350 for 50-60 minutes. As soon as it's cool enough to handle, scrape out the strands with a fork, leaving a small layer of squash in the shell. Drain strands or squeeze in a towel.
Mix garlic, oil, cheese, salt and 1/4 c mozzarella with the squash strands.
Cook ground meat, if using, until browned. Add marinara sauce, cover and simmer 4 minutes.
Increase oven temp to 425. Layer in squash shells: sauce, squash mixture, mozzarella, sauce, squash, mozzarella, parm. Bake for 20 minutes.
If desired, place under broiler for 1-2 minutes to brown the cheeses.
Let stand 10 minutes before serving.
