Fit Foods Friday: Spaghetti Squash Casserole

I found this recipe on pintrest (of course) only problem was it was a vegan recipe and I am not a vegan. I changed a few things around and swapped out some ingredients and WOW!!!

Extremely filling
Low calorie
Low carb

I will be making this recipe again for sure!

Spaghetti Squash Casserole

  • 1 med spaghetti squash
  • 2 c your favorite marinara sauce
  • 1/2 c cream cheese
  • 1/4 c grated parmesan cheese
  • 2 c broccoli florets steamed
Cook your spaghetti squash first. I usually roast mine in the oven on 350 for 40 min. Cut it open length wise and scrape out the seeds. Drizzle a little evoo, salt, and pepper and place meat side down on a foil lined baking pan. Remove from oven and scrape down strands with a fork like this...
While your squash is cooking steam your broccoli florets slightly. Simmer the marinara sauce adding any of your favorite italian spices. Add cream cheese to the sauce as well as the parm cheese and continue to simmer until all is combined well. Mix together the broccoli, squash, and sauce and put in a casserole pan. Bake for 35 min on 350 degrees.

Super yummy comfort food with a healthy spin.
