Lasagna Stuffed Spaghetti Squash Boats
- 2 Large Spaghetti Squashes, Sliced In Half Lengthwise
- 1/4 cups Olive Oil, Divided
- 1 Onion, Minced
- 2 cloves Garlic, Minced
- Red Pepper Flakes (optional)
- 2 cans (28 Oz. Size) Whole Tomatoes And Their Juices
- 1/2 Tablespoons Sugar (optional)
- 1/4 cups Fresh Minced Basil, Plus More For Layering
- 1/4 cups Fresh Minced Parsley
- 2- 1/2 cups Shredded Mozzarella
- 1 cup Shredded Asiago
- Salt And Fresh Cracked Pepper, To Taste
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
- Scrape seeds from spaghetti squash and place cut side down on a baking tray.
- Roast for 3545 minutes, until squash is tender and flesh scrapes away from the shell in strands.
- Meanwhile, heat 2 tablespoons olive oil in a saucepan over medium heat.
- When oil is hot, add onion and a generous pinch of salt.
- Cook onions for 1015 minutes, stirring frequently to avoid browning.
- When onions are tender, add garlic, pepper flakes and one more pinch of salt.
- Stir frequently until garlic is fragrant, about 30 seconds.
- Add tomatoes and their juices and crush tomatoes with your hands.
- Season with additional salt, pepper and sugar.
- Add 1/4 cup basil and parsley.
- Simmer until squash is done roasting.
- When squash is cool enough to handle, scrape flesh out and layer about 1/2 cup sauce in the bottom of each shell.
- Layer some squash strands, a handful of each cheese, extra basil and more sauce.
- Repeat until you fill the squash shells (I did 3 layers).
- Top each boat with another generous amount of mozzarella and asiago and bake for 2025 minutes.
- For browned cheese (the best), broil for a few minutes on high.
- Keep a careful watch that the cheese doesnt burn.
- Allow to rest for 10 minutes then drain excess moisture.
- (Squash is extremely watery.
- Carefully tip the boats over the sink to allow the liquid to drain).
- Serve.
