Spaghetti Squash No Dish Casserole

I got this wonderful recipe from a friend years ago and it is fabulous. 
A great dish to for your spaghetti squash and guests! 


Preparing the Squash 

Cut spaghetti squash in half; remove and discard the seeds.

Place the spaghetti squash halves (filled with a quarter inch of water in each) on a baking pan in a preheated (350 Degrees F) oven and bake for 40 minutes till tender.

Scoop out the insides of the squash (after it cools) using a fork and shredding lightly.  Leave some on the bottom for support.  Make sure you save the shell to fill with the mixture as this is your baking dish.

Ingredients for the Casserole

1 Cup cooked rice  
4 garlic minced cloves
Assortment of diced peppers
1 diced onion
oil for cooking vegetables

We added some other vegetables that were in the fridge ie rapini, broccoli, corn etc.




Sauté 4 cloves of garlic, one onion,
and vegetables.

Add the cooked rice to the pan, and then the squash.

Add fresh or dried herbs, salt and pepper to taste.

Mix thoroughly.

Add the mixture to the squash shell.

Grate cheese -cheddar and parmesan and place on top of squash dish.  Be generous.





Bake in preheated oven at 325 degrees F for approximately 30 minutes till cheese is golden brown and melted.
