Ingredients You'll Need Gather spaghetti squash, ground turkey or beef, onions, garlic, marinara sauce, shredded cheese, and your favorite spices and herbs.
Preparing the Spaghetti Squash Cut the squash in half lengthwise, scoop out seeds, and roast at 400°F (200°C) for 40-45 minutes until tender. Scrape out strands with a fork.
Cooking the Meat In a skillet, cook ground meat with onions and garlic until browned. Drain excess fat and mix in marinara sauce.

Layering the Casserole In a baking dish, layer the spaghetti squash, meat sauce, and shredded mozzarella cheese. Repeat until all ingredients are used.
Topping with Cheese Finish with a generous layer of mozzarella and grated parmesan cheese to create a golden, bubbly crust.
Baking the Casserole Bake at 375°F (190°C) for 20-25 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly, and the edges are slightly crisp.
