Bake the squash in advance to shorten prep time; squeeze the noodles
dry, and store in a zip-top plastic bag in the refrigerator until ready
to use.
Ingredients :
2 small spaghetti squash (about 1 1/2 pounds each)
2 teaspoons olive oil
4 garlic cloves, thinly sliced
1 (8-ounce) package fresh baby spinach
1/2 cup part-skim ricotta cheese
1/8 teaspoon kosher salt
2 ounces shredded part-skim mozzarella cheese (about 1/2 cup), divided
8 ounces 93% lean ground turkey
1 1/2 cups lower-sodium marinara sauce (such as Dell'Amore)
1 ounce Parmesan cheese, grated (about 1/4 cup)
How to Make It :
Step 1
Preheat oven to 350°.
Step 2
Cut each squash in half lengthwise. Scoop out seeds; discard. Place
squash halves, cut sides up, on a baking sheet. Bake at 350° for 50
minutes. Let stand 10 minutes. Scrape inside of squash with a fork to
remove spaghetti-like strands. Place strands on a clean dish towel;
squeeze until barely moist.
Step 3
Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add oil to pan; swirl to coat. Add garlic; cook 30 seconds. Add spinach; cook 1 minute or until spinach wilts. Remove from heat. Combine spinach mixture, squash strands, ricotta cheese, salt, and half of mozzarella cheese in a medium bowl.
Step 4
Return skillet to medium-high heat. Add turkey to pan; cook 4 minutes or until browned, stirring to crumble. Add marinara sauce; cover, reduce heat to medium, and simmer 4 minutes. Remove from heat.
Step 5
Increase oven temperature to 425°.
Step 6
Spoon sauce evenly into the bottom of each squash half. Top evenly with squash mixture. Sprinkle evenly with remaining mozzarella cheese and Parmesan cheese. Bake at 425° for 20 minutes.
Step 7
Preheat broiler to high (keep squash in oven). Broil squash 1 to 2 minutes or until cheese is golden brown and bubbly. Remove from oven; let stand 10 minutes.
