CHEESY SPAGHETTI SQUASH CASSEROLE



Cheesy Spaghetti Squash Casserole image

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.

Provided by Shasta Duplantis

Categories     Side Dish     Casseroles

Time 1h50m

Yield 10

Number Of Ingredients 20

1 (3 pound) spaghetti squash, halved and seeded
2 tablespoons olive oil, divided, or as needed
¼ teaspoon garlic-pepper seasoning, divided, or more to taste
1 (16 ounce) package sliced fresh mushrooms
1 large onion, diced
1 medium jalapeno pepper, seeded and diced
1 bulb garlic, cloves peeled and minced
1 pound ground pork sausage
1 ½ teaspoons fennel seeds
salt and ground black pepper to taste
1 pound broccoli, stem removed and broken into florets
2 tablespoons chicken soup base (such as Better than Bouillon®)
1 ½ teaspoons dried oregano
1 ½ teaspoons ground thyme
1 ½ teaspoons dried basil
1 ½ cups grated Parmesan cheese
1 ½ cups shredded Cheddar cheese
1 ½ cups shredded mozzarella cheese
nonstick cooking spray
1 ½ cups whipping cream

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:

  • Choose the right spaghetti squash. Look for ones that are firm and have a deep yellow color. Avoid any squash with blemishes or soft spots.
  • Cook the spaghetti squash properly. The best way to cook spaghetti squash is to roast it in the oven. This will help to caramelize the natural sugars in the squash and give it a slightly sweet flavor.
  • Don't overcook the turkey sausage. Overcooked turkey sausage will be dry and tough. Cook it just until it is cooked through, about 10 minutes.
  • Use a variety of vegetables. This will add flavor, texture, and nutrients to your casserole. Some good options include peppers, onions, mushrooms, and spinach.
  • Season the casserole well. Use a variety of herbs and spices to give your casserole flavor. Some good options include garlic, oregano, basil, and thyme.
  • Top the casserole with cheese before baking. This will help to brown the top of the casserole and give it a gooey, melted cheese texture.

Conclusion:

Spaghetti squash turkey sausage casserole is a delicious and healthy meal that is perfect for busy weeknights. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences.
