Twice Baked Lasagna Stuffed Spaghetti Squash

Oh, spaghetti squash. You sneaky bastard.

No joke, EVERY time I enjoy some spaghetti squash, I forget that I’m eating a vegetable and not some gluten-filled pasta. This stuff is deliciously deceptive and I’m so sad I haven’t been eating tons of it this fall/winter. After this dish though, I will incorporating a lot more of this incredible squash into my dinner.

This unreal meal took almost no time to throw together. I had already made a sauce last week, so there was no prep there. You can use your own homemade or store bought version, along with some fresh basil and Daiya and call it a day. I really try to limit my Daiya intake these days, but there’s no denying it’s delicious. Especially when it comes to vegan Italian meals!

1 spaghetti squash, halved lengthwise and deseeded

2 cups homemade or store bought tomato sauce (mine was leftover from my summer batch-basically lots of chopped tomatoes, tomato paste, oregano, basil, parsley, garlic, red wine, onions, shallots, salt, pepper-I reheated mine and then added kale!)

1 cup shredded Daiya cheese, divided (I used the Jack style version)

1/2 cup fresh chopped basil, divided

2 tbsp nutritional yeast

Olive oil, sea salt and black pepper for roasting

  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees
  • Coat inside of squash with olive oil and sprinkle with salt and black pepper
  • Place face down on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and roast at 400 degrees for 45 minutes
  • Remove from oven, scrape inside of squash until “spaghetti” strands form
  • Top each squash side with 1 cup of sauce, half of the basil, half of the Daiya and half the nutritional yeast
  • Lower temp to 350 degrees, and place squash face up, bake on the baking sheet
  • Bake at 350 degrees for 20 minutes
  • If desired, broil for a few minutes to let the topping brown and then serve
