Ingredients

1 medium spaghetti squash, halved and seeded
2 tablespoons olive oil, divided
kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
1 small onion, minced
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 pound ground chicken
4 cups spaghetti sauce
1 (12 ounce) package frozen chopped spinach, thawed and well drained
1 ½ cups shredded mozzarella cheese
1 cup shredded Parmesan cheese

Steps:

Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C).
Drizzle cut sides of spaghetti squash with 1 tablespoon olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Place on a sheet pan with the cut sides down.
Roast in the preheated oven until a fork easily penetrates the skin, about 30 minutes. Remove from the oven and set aside until cool enough to handle. Shred flesh with a fork until it resembles spaghetti noodles; transfer to a colander to drain for 20 minutes. Lower oven temperature to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
While squash is draining, heat remaining olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add onion; cook and stir for 2 minutes. Stir in garlic and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute. Add ground chicken and season with salt and pepper. Cook until chicken is browned and crumbly with no pink remaining, 5 to 7 minutes. Remove from the heat and stir in spaghetti sauce.
Transfer drained squash to a 9x13-inch casserole dish. Add sauce mixture, spinach, 1/2 of the mozzarella cheese and 1/2 of the Parmesan cheese; toss to combine. Sprinkle remaining cheeses over the top.
Bake in the preheated oven until casserole is bubbling and cheeses have melted, about 20 minutes.

This casserole was delicious! The squash was cooked perfectly and the chicken was moist and flavorful. The sauce was cheesy and creamy, and the breadcrumb topping added a nice crunch. I will definitely be making this again.
