I love lasagna, but I can't eat the pasta due to my gluten sensitivity. Whether you have a gluten sensitivity like me, or you just want to cut down on the calories, eat less carbs or just looking for a healthier take on one of the Italian classics, you are going to love this recipe.
The best part about it is that is super easy to make. Less messy than traditional lasagna and I would say faster to prepare.
Here are the ingredients you'll need:
1 jar marinara sauce (preferably with veggies in it!), or 2 cups homemade marinara sauce
1 pound lean ground turkey
3 cups cooked roasted spaghetti squash
16 ounces part skim ricotta
1 egg
1 tsp Italian seasoning
1/2 cup Parmesan cheese
1 cup part skim shredded mozzarella
Instructions:
Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
In a large pan, cook the ground turkey until brown. Add in the marinara sauce and simmer for 5 minutes.
In a medium bowl, mix the ricotta, Italian seasoning and egg together.
Spray a 9x11 baking dish with cooking spray. Spoon enough meat sauce in the pan to cover the bottom. Spread 1.5 cups spaghetti squash on top. Layer with all the ricotta mixture, half the Parmesan and mozzarella cheese, the remaining spaghetti squash, the remaining meat sauce, and top it off with the remaining Parmesan and mozzarella.
Cover and bake for 20 minutes. Uncover and bake for an additional 10 minutes.
Enjoy!
