  • Total Time: 55 minutes
  • Serves: 4


Ingredients
  • 2 pounds spaghetti squash
  • 10 ounces package frozen chopped spinach
  • 1 cups nonfat ricotta cheese
  • 1/2 cups plain bread crumbs
  • 1 teaspoons dried italian seasoning
  • 1 teaspoons garlic powder
  • 2 cups low-sodium pasta sauce

Preparation:

  • Using a fork, remove the strands of squash from its shell. Lightly spray a 9x13-inch pan with cooking spray. Arrange the squash on the bottom of the pan.

  • Top with pasta sauce and sprinkle with cheese. Bake at 350 degrees F for 30-40 minutes or until heated through. Allow to sit for 5 minutes before cutting and serving.
  • This dish goes well with salad and bread for a light dinner.
