This is tasty enough that even my husband likes it...and if you knew him, you would know how remarkable of a statement that is! You can modify this quite a bit by adding onions, or additional toppings like olives or pepperoni slices depending on your tastes. You can also vary the cheeses by adding in feta or mozzarella. Prep time is made very quick with a Cuisinart or other food processor...easy meal to throw together at the last second.

Tips:

  • Prepare the yellow squash properly: Spiralize the squash into thin, noodle-like strands using a spiralizer or a vegetable peeler. If you don't have a spiralizer, you can also use a julienne peeler or a sharp knife to create thin strips.
  • Use a flavorful cheese: The cheese used in this casserole is a key ingredient, so choose one that has a strong flavor that will complement the other ingredients. Some good options include Parmesan, cheddar, Gruyère, or mozzarella.
  • Don't overcook the squash: The squash should be cooked until it is tender but still has a bit of a bite to it. Overcooking will make the squash mushy.
  • Season the casserole well: Use a generous amount of salt and pepper to season the casserole. You can also add other herbs and spices, such as garlic powder, onion powder, or paprika, to taste.
  • Top the casserole with breadcrumbs: The breadcrumbs add a crispy topping to the casserole. You can use plain breadcrumbs or seasoned breadcrumbs.

Conclusion:

Yellow squash spaghetti casserole is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. It is a great way to use up leftover yellow squash, and it is also a healthy and affordable option.
