SPAGHETTI SQUASH CASSEROLE
Spaghetti squash, like zucchini, can take over a garden. This is an excellent way to put that abundance to good use. I got the original recipe at a cooking class, and I've made it many times since. It's unique and tasty. -Mina Dick, Boissevain, Manitoba

CHEESY SPAGHETTI SQUASH CASSEROLE
I had a recipe for a 4-cheese baked spaghetti squash that I really liked, but it was hard to eat. It was baked in the shell of the squash, and then mixed together after baking. I wanted to try it as a casserole, and after a few tries, this is what I came up with.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
- Brush the squash flesh with 1 tablespoon olive oil and sprinkle 1/8 teaspoon garlic-pepper over top; rub the edges and insides to make sure it's distributed evenly. Place on a baking sheet.
- Bake in the preheated oven until tender when pierced with a fork, 45 to 60 minutes.
- Meanwhile, heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large cast iron pan over low heat. Add mushrooms, onion, and jalapeno and cook, stirring occasionally, for 30 minutes. Add garlic and cook for about 10 more minutes. Move everything to the outside edges of the pan; add sausage, fennel seeds, salt, and pepper to the center. Cook and stir until pork is browned, crumbly, and no longer pink, about 10 minutes. Fold in the broccoli and remove from the heat.
- Remove squash from the oven and set aside to cool a bit. Leave the oven on.
- Mix chicken base, oregano, thyme, and basil together in a large bowl. Add Parmesan cheese and mix thoroughly. Add Cheddar and mozzarella and mix until well combined; it may be a little clumpy, but as long as it's only small clumps, that's okay.
- Shred squash flesh onto a sheet pan; use an oven mitt to hold it if it's still too hot. Toss with remaining garlic-pepper and season with salt and pepper if you want to. (Just remember the chicken base has a fair amount of salt in it already.)
- Spray an 11x13-inch baking dish with nonstick spray. Spread 1/2 of the shredded squash evenly over the bottom of the dish and top with 1/2 of the pork-vegetable mixture. Repeat for a second layer. Pour cream over the entire dish.
- Bake, uncovered, in the preheated oven for 30 minutes.

Tips:
- Choosing the right spaghetti squash is essential for a successful casserole. Look for one that is firm to the touch, with no soft spots or blemishes.
- Baking the spaghetti squash is the easiest way to cook it. Pierce the squash with a fork several times, then bake it in a 400°F oven for 45 minutes to an hour, or until the flesh is tender.
- Once the spaghetti squash is cooked, let it cool slightly before handling it. The flesh is very delicate and can easily break.
- When scraping the flesh out of the spaghetti squash, use a fork to gently scrape it along the sides of the squash. Be careful not to scrape too hard, or you will break the squash.
- Add your favorite toppings to the spaghetti squash casserole. Some popular options include cheese, cooked chicken, vegetables, and sauce.
- Bake the spaghetti squash casserole in a 350°F oven for 20-30 minutes, or until the casserole is heated through and the cheese is melted.
Conclusion:
Spaghetti squash casserole is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. With its simple ingredients and customizable toppings, it is a versatile dish that can be enjoyed by everyone.
