Low-Carb Spaghetti Squash Casserole image

It's wonderful when something so healthy tastes so good! Serve a salad and some garlic bread with this and you have a great meal! From Dr. Andrew Weil.

Provided by Chef Kate

Categories     One Dish Meal

Time 2h5m

Yield 6-8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 14

1 spaghetti squash
1 large carrot, sliced on the diagonal
2 stalks celery, sliced on the diagonal
1 large yellow onion, diced
1 red bell pepper, peeled, seeded and diced
2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
28 ounces tomatoes, diced (if using fresh, peel and seed)
red pepper flakes (or one small hot red pepper, minced)
1 teaspoon dried basil (I use a tablespoon of fresh when I have it)
1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
1 pinch ground allspice
3 garlic cloves, chopped (or more)
3/4 lb part-skim mozzarella cheese
1/2 cup grated parmesan cheese

Steps:

  • Place the spaghetti squash in a large pot of water (it should float) and bring to a boil; lower heat, cover and boil gently for 50 minutes.
  • Another option is to bake the squash first-- cut it lengthwise and place the halves skin-side down in a baking dish with an inch of water; cover the dish with foil and bake at 350º F for about 45 minutes, or until meat is tender.
  • While squash is cooking, peel and slice the carrots, celery, onion and bell pepper.
  • Heat olive oil in a skillet and add the onion and carrot, with some water to prevent sticking. Sauté over medium heat for 5 minutes. Add remaining vegetables with some red pepper flakes and a dash of salt, if desired. Sauté, stirring frequently, till vegetables are barely tender, about 10 minutes.
  • Pre-heat oven (if you are cooking squash on top of the stove)to 350 degrees F.
  • Add crushed tomatoes, basil and oregano to taste, and a sprinkle of ground allspice. Squeeze in 2-5 cloves of garlic. Simmer uncovered for 15 minutes. Meanwhile, grate the mozzarella and Parmesan.
  • Remove squash from pot or oven and allow to cool until you can handle it. If it is whole, cut it in half lengthwise, then remove seeds with a spoon and squeeze any excess water out of meat.
  • Remove meat and break it up into strands with a fork or potato masher. Mix squash well with vegetables and put half in the bottom of a large baking dish. Top with half the cheeses, the rest of the squash, and then the rest of the cheeses.
  • Bake for 30 minutes or until cheese is bubbly and slightly browned. Let cool 15-20 minutes before serving.

1 small onion, chopped
1 medium bell pepper, chopped
3 tsp garlic, minced
1/2 Tbsp taco seasoning
salt and pepper to taste
1/4 tsp red pepper flakes, optional
1/2 c refried beans (i used fat free)
1 (14-oz) can black bean, drained and rinsed
1 (10-oz) can tomatoes with chili peppers (rotel) original, mild or hot
1 c cheddar cheese, shredded
additional salt, pepper and taco seasoning for squash

Steps:

  • 1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Grease a 9x9" baking dish for the casserole. Use a different pan for baking the squash.
  • 2. With sharp knife slice top out of squash. Stand squash flat on the cut side. Slice squash in half. NOTE: this squash was not easy to cut, pretty tough skin.
  • 3. Scoop out the seed and membrane.
  • 4. Brush inside of each half with oil; sprinkle with salt an pepper. Place cut sides down in baking pan.
  • 5. Bake for about 40 minutes or until squash is fork tender.
  • 6. Remove from oven; let cool for about 10 minutes or until cool enough to handle.
  • 7. REDUCE oven heat to 350 degrees.
  • 8. Using a fork, scrape out the spaghetti squash. Place in bottom of prepared baking dish. Sprinkle with salt and pepper and a small amount of the taco seasoning; toss. Spread squash evenly over bottom of baking dish.
  • 9. In large skillet over medium heat, cook meat, onion, pepper, and garlic until meat is cooked. Add taco seasoning and add salt and pepper to taste. Add pepper flakes for a little more heat. Stir in refried beans and black beans. Remove from heat.
  • 10. Layer beef mixture over squash.

  • 12. Bake for 40 minutes or until bubbly. Remove from oven; sprinkle cheese evenly over top. Return to oven and bake a few more minutes until cheese has melted.

Tips:

  • Choose the right spaghetti squash: Look for squashes that are firm and heavy for their size, with a deep yellow color. Avoid squashes with blemishes or soft spots.
  • Cook the spaghetti squash properly: To ensure even cooking, pierce the squash with a fork in several places before baking. Bake the squash upside down on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
  • Let the squash cool slightly before handling: The squash will be very hot when it comes out of the oven, so let it cool for a few minutes before handling. This will make it easier to scrape the spaghetti-like strands from the squash.
  • Use a variety of toppings: The possibilities are endless when it comes to toppings for spaghetti squash casserole. Some popular options include cheese, cooked chicken or beef, vegetables, and sauces.
  • Experiment with different flavors: Don't be afraid to experiment with different flavors when making spaghetti squash casserole. Try adding herbs, spices, or different types of cheese to create a unique and flavorful dish.
