Ingredients

• 1 egg
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• salt and ground black pepper to taste
• 1 (15 ounce) container ricotta cheese
• 1 (24 ounce) jar spaghetti sauce
• 2 spaghetti squash, halved lengthwise and seeded

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).

Step 2

Brush the inside of squash halves with olive oil; season with salt and pepper. Place cut-sides up on a baking sheet.

Step 3

Bake in the preheated oven until softened, about 45 minutes. Remove from the oven and let cool until easily handled, 5 to 10 minutes. Scrape out strands of squash with a fork and transfer them to a bowl.

Step 4

Adjust the oven temperature to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).

Step 5

Mix 1/2 of the mozzarella cheese, ricotta cheese, egg, and Parmesan cheese together in a bowl. Stir into squash. Stir in 2 or 3 tablespoons spaghetti sauce to turn mixture pink.

Step 6

Spread 1/2 of the squash mixture in a 9x13-inch baking dish. Spoon 1/2 of the spaghetti sauce on top. Sprinkle with 1/2 of the remaining mozzarella cheese. Layer remaining squash mixture, spaghetti sauce, and mozzarella cheese on top.

Step 7

Bake in the preheated oven until mozzarella cheese is melted and browned, 30 to 45 minutes.
