    Okay friends, so I wanted to create an easy recipe using spaghetti squash that had all the same yummy flavors of lasagna.

    Cause anytime I can incorporate extra veggies into the mix then I'm one happy camper. 😉

    And lasagna has always been a favorite comfort food of mine!

    This Spaghetti Squash Lasagna is super easy to make, cheesy, gooey and delicious. A great way to get in an extra serving of veggies and is much lower carbs then traditional lasagna. Gluten free & Low carb.

    And spaghetti squash has always been a favorite veggie of mine to experiment with ....

    So since spaghetti squash lasagna is:

    • low in calories
    • contains good amounts of dietary fiber
    • a good source of vitamin A....
    • which promotes eye and skin health
    • supports bone health because of high calcium content
    • and a good source of antioxidants

    Then all the more reasons to include this veggie in your diet.

    Tips for making this Spaghetti Squash Lasagna even easier...

    Prep your spaghetti squash early in the day.

    Or even the day before... I like to make spaghetti squash ahead and store it covered in the fridge until I'm ready to use it in a recipe.

    Use a jar of ready made marinara sauce.

    You can find a lot of good organic sauces made without added sugars.

    And by following these tips you can definitely save a lot of time.... hence making this a super easy weeknight dinner. 😀

    So summing it all up.... easy, delicious, cheesy, gooey and even low carb.... 😯 What's not to love?

        Hi Amanda, I personally haven't tried to freeze this but I would say it should work just fine. Let me know if you try it.

      I think if I make this, I could finally get my husband to like spaghetti squash! He is not a big fan, and we've had this one spaghetti squash sitting here just waiting to be EATEN! Every time I say, "Let's have spaghetti squash for dinner," he says "what else ya got?" I think this could be the winner! Looks absolutely scrumptious! I can't wait to check out your spaghetti squash mac and cheese too! 🙂

        😆 😆 Funny I had the same problem... A hubby that wasn't on board with spaghetti squash. But he is now and loved this. Thanks for stopping by Sherri and good luck with getting the husband on board with spaghetti squash. 😀

      Is there anything that spaghetti squash can't do? I mean seriously it is everywhere! It has such a light mild flavor it works in so many different dishes. This looks delicious with all that cheese! Perfect weeknight dinner!

      I rarely cook spaghetti squash because I just don't know how to prepare it. This looks delicious!
