SPAGHETTI SQUASH LASAGNA

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 425°F. Cut the squash in half lengthwise and remove the seeds. Brush the flesh with 2 teaspoons oil. Place them cut side down on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Roast in the oven until tender, about 40 minutes. Remove from oven and cool. When the squash is cooled, scrape the flesh with a fork so that it forms spaghetti-like strands. You should have about 6 cups total.
• Meanwhile, make the sauce by heating 2 teaspoons oil in a large sauté pan over medium heat. Add the onion and garlic and cook for 4 to 5 minutes until partially softened. Stir in the tomatoes, Italian seasoning, red pepper flakes, ½ teaspoon salt, and ¼ teaspoon pepper. Simmer the sauce for 15 to 20 minutes until thickened.
• Meanwhile, mix the ricotta, egg, spinach, ½ cup of the mozzarella cheese, 1 teaspoon salt, and ¼ teaspoon pepper together in a large bowl. Squeeze all of the liquid from the spaghetti squash and add the squash to the ricotta mixture (the squash releases a lot of water as it cooks so make sure to squeeze it well). Stir to combine all of the ingredients.
• Turn the heat on the oven down to 375°F. To assemble the casserole, spread about 1½ cups of the sauce on the bottom of an 8 x 11-inch baking dish. Add the squash mixture on top and spread it out evenly. Spread the remaining tomato sauce over the top of the squash and sprinkle the remaining 1 cup mozzarella and Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese on top. Bake in the oven for 35 to 40 minutes until bubbly and cheese is melted. Garnish with parsley. Let stand for 10 minutes before cutting and serving.

Steps:

• Heat salted water for the pasta: Put a large pot of water on the stove on high heat. Add salt to the water, about 2 tablespoons of salt for 4 quarts of water. While the pasta water is heating, continue with the next steps.
• Cook and drain the pasta: By this time your pasta water should be boiling. Add the pasta to the boiling water and cook, uncovered, at a rolling boil, for 5 to 6 minutes, al dente. Note that the pasta will continue to cook and absorb some of the sauce when it is in the casserole dish in the oven, so the pasta should be al dente.

LASAGNA CASSEROLE - EASY (BUT DELICIOUS!)

Steps:

• Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil on the stovetop.
• Add in your pasta and allow it to cook until it's al dente (cook the pasta for one or two minutes less than it says to on the back of the packet). Once you finish cooking the pasta, drain the water, and keep the pasta ready on your counter.
• Place a large skillet onto a medium heat on the stovetop and throw in your ground beef, chopped onions, and minced garlic. Allow the ingredients to cook on medium heat until the ground beef is browned all over, and the onions have softened up.
• Add in your Italian herbs and seasoning alongside salt and pepper to taste. Stir before pouring over your marinara sauce. Pour in a little water (no more than 2 tbsps) to lighten the sauce.
• Allow the ingredients to simmer in the sauce until it's warmed up (no need to boil), then add your drained pasta to the mix and stir everything together.
• Now you need to prepare a 13 x 9-inch casserole dish and preheat your oven to 350 °F.
• While the oven is preheating, pour your ricotta cheese into a large mixing bowl. Crack your large egg into the bowl and whisk it into the cheese.
• Shred your mozzarella cheese and grate your parmesan. Add half of both kinds of cheese to the mixing bowl. Stir everything together with a light seasoning of pepper.
• Now it's time to layer your lasagna casserole. First, pour half of the sauce, beef, and pasta into the baking dish. Add a smooth layer of your cheese mixture, then add a second layer of sauce, beef, and pasta.
• Add any leftover cheese mixture to the top, cover the pan with tin foil, and then place the lasagna casserole into the oven.
• After 30 min of baking, take the easy lasagna casserole out of the oven, remove the tin foil, and cover the top with the rest of your grated parmesan and shredded mozzarella.
• Place the lasagna back into the oven, this time uncovered. Bake for a further 10 min to give the lasagna a cheesy, yet golden brown finish.
• Leave to cool, sprinkle with fresh basil, and serve up to a hungry dinner table!

SPAGHETTI SQUASH LASAGNA BAKE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (204 C) and line a large baking sheet with foil.
• Carefully halve your spaghetti squash lengthwise using a sharp knife. I find the best way is to pierce the skin with the very tip of the knife and push it all the way through to the other side. Rock the knife back and forth to cut one half all the way through, then repeat on the other side.
• Use an ice cream scoop (or sharp spoon) to scrape out the seeds and most of the stringy parts. It should appear pretty clean.
• Brush the interior with oil and sprinkle with a little salt and pepper. Place cut-side down on baking sheet. Roast for 45 minutes, or until a knife easily pierces the skin and flesh. Remove from oven and set aside to cool slightly. Also reduce oven heat to 375 degrees F (190 C).
• In the meantime, add all tofu filling ingredients to a food processor or blender and pulse to combine, scraping down sides as needed. You are looking for a semi-pureed mixture with bits of basil still intact.
• Taste and adjust seasonings as needed, adding more salt and pepper for flavor, nutritional yeast for cheesiness, and lemon juice for brightness.
• Once fully baked and slightly cooled, use a fork to scoop out spaghetti squash into fine strings. Set aside.
• Lightly grease a 9x13-inch (or similar size) baking dish (adjust dish size/number if altering the number of servings) and lay down 1/3 of the squash. Top with several spoonfuls of tofu ricotta, then pour on a layer of marinara sauce. Repeat until all ricotta filling and marinara is used up - about 3 layers. Make sure the top layer is sauce.
• Loosely cover the dish with foil and bake for 20 minutes at 375 degrees F (190 C). Then remove foil and bake for an additional 10-15 minutes, or until the sauce is bubbly and the top is golden brown. Cover with foil if the squash is browning too quickly.
• Let cool briefly, then serve with desired toppings (listed above). I prefer red pepper flakes and vegan parmesan cheese. Fresh basil adds a nice pop of color.
• Best when fresh. Store leftovers covered in the refrigerator for 2-3 days. Reheat in a 350-degree F (176 C) oven for 20-25 minutes or until completely warmed through.
