How to cook deliciously - Roasted Spaghetti Squash Lasagna Boats

1. Stage

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).

2. Stage

Cut squash in half lengthwise with a large kitchen knife. Scoop out seeds and membrane. Season lightly with salt and pepper. Place in a baking dish, cut-side down.

3. Stage

Bake in the preheated oven until soft, about 45 minutes. Remove from the oven and let cool for about 10 minutes. Keep the oven on.

4. Stage

Meanwhile, begin preparing sauce. Combine ricotta cheese, Parmesan cheese, and parsley in a medium bowl. Mix well.

5. Stage

Heat oil in a large, deep skillet over medium heat. Saute onion and garlic in the hot oil until onion is soft, 3 to 4 minutes. Add sausage and cook and stir until browned, 5 to 7 minutes, breaking up meat into small pieces as it cooks. Add tomatoes, salt, and pepper. Simmer over low heat for 25 minutes; stir in basil and simmer for 5 minutes more.

6. Stage

Remove flesh from the cooled squash by scraping with a fork, creating spaghetti strands. Reserve the shells. Drain the squash strands in a paper towel-lined colander to soak up excess liquid.

7. Stage

Toss squash strands with the tomato sauce mixture. Spoon into the 6 squash shells. Top with 1 to 2 tablespoons of the ricotta cheese mixture and 2 tablespoons mozzarella cheese. Place in the baking dish.

8. Stage

Roast in the preheated oven until heated through and cheese is melted, about 30 minutes.
