Ingredients
  

  • 1 whole spaghetti squash
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil divided
  • ½ medium onion diced
  • 1 pound breakfast sausage
  • 1 pound 80/20 ground beef
  • 1 tablespoon minced garlic
  • 24 ounces Rao’s marinara sauce
  • 20 ounces whole milk ricotta
  • 2 large eggs
  • ¾ cup grated Parmesan cheese divided
  • 2 tablespoons chopped basil
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon pepper
  • 8 ounces sliced mozzarella cheese
  • 2 tablespoons chopped parsley

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 400°F.
  • Carefully split the spaghetti squash in half lengthwise and scoop out the seeds. Drizzle with 1 tablespoon of olive oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper.
  • Roast for 35-45 minutes or until the squash is tender and easily shreds with the fork. Remove from the skin into a bowl and set aside. If there’s any visible liquid drain or pat dry.
  • While the squash roasts, heat the remaining tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet. Add the chopped onion, sausage, ground beef and garlic.
  • Cook the meat thoroughly and drain any rendered fat.
  • Add the marinara sauce to the meat mixture and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat and simmer the sauce for about 15 minutes or until thick and most of the liquid has been reduced.
  • While the meat simmers combine the ricotta cheese, ½ cup Parmesan cheese, eggs, basil and ½ teaspoon salt and pepper in a medium sized bowl and set aside.
  • Turn the oven down to 350°F and lightly grease a 2.5 quart casserole dish.
  • Begin with spaghetti squash, adding half the shreds (about 2 cups) to the bottom of the dish and pressing into a flat layer.
  • Top with half the ricotta mixture, followed by half the meat sauce, and a layer of half the mozzarella cheese.
  • Repeat the layers again, starting over with another layer of squash.
  • Sprinkle the casserole with the remaining 1/4 cup of Parmesan cheese and chopped parsley.
  • Cover with foil and bake for 30 minutes. Remove the foil and bake another 20 - 30 minutes or until bubbly and golden brown. Let rest for at least 15 minutes before serving.
