Time 2h35m

Yield 12

Number Of Ingredients 16

1 large spaghetti squash, halved and seeded
1 tablespoon olive oil, or as needed
1 cup chopped onion
5 cloves garlic, minced
1 pound bulk pork sausage
2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
1 tablespoon Italian seasoning, or more to taste
2 teaspoons salt, divided
1 (28 ounce) can Italian crushed tomatoes
4 tablespoons Marsala wine
28 ounces ricotta cheese
½ cup shredded Parmesan cheese
3 sprigs fresh basil, leaves stripped from stems
1 teaspoon ground black pepper
1 (16 ounce) package sliced fresh mozzarella cheese
2 tablespoons thinly sliced fresh basil leaves, or to taste

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • Place each squash half cut-side down on the prepared baking sheet.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until easily pierced with a knife, about 45 minutes. Remove from oven and cool until easily handled. Scrape insides of squash into spaghetti strands with a fork. Transfer to a colander and place over a bowl to drain.
  • While squash is baking, heat olive oil in skillet over medium heat; stir in onion and garlic. Cook and stir until the onion has softened and turned translucent, about 5 minutes. Add sausage, breaking it up with a sturdy spoon to remove clumps. Cook and stir sausage in the hot skillet until browned and crumbly, 5 to 7 minutes.
  • Stir Worcestershire sauce, Italian seasoning, and 1 teaspoon salt into the sausage mixture. Add crushed tomatoes, reduce heat to low, and simmer for 30 minutes. Add wine and cook for another 30 minutes.
  • Mix ricotta cheese, Parmesan cheese, basil leaves, remaining 1 teaspoon salt, and pepper together in a bowl.
  • Layer 1/2 of the shredded spaghetti squash, 1/2 of the ricotta mixture, and 1/2 of the meat mixture in a 4-quart glass baking dish. Repeat layers once more, and top with mozzarella cheese slices.
  • Bake in the preheated oven, turning halfway through, until cheese is golden, about 1 hour.
  • Remove from the oven and immediately top with thin basil slices. Allow to cool for about 10 minutes before slicing and serving.

I'm not a big fan of spaghetti squash, but I thought this recipe was pretty good. The filling was tasty and the cheese was gooey and melted.

Overall, I thought this recipe was just okay. It wasn't bad, but it wasn't anything special either.

I had some trouble getting the spaghetti squash to cook evenly. The ends were still hard while the middle was mushy.

This recipe was a bit too bland for my taste. I think I would have liked it better with a more flavorful sauce.
