Time 1h50m

Yield 9 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 medium spaghetti squash (about 4 pounds)
Nonstick cooking spray
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 medium onion, diced
4 garlic cloves, minced
1 bunch kale, de-stemmed and roughly chopped into bite-size pieces (3 cups)
2 cups cooked chicken, such as from a rotisserie chicken
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
15 ounces part-skim ricotta
1 egg
2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
2 1/2 cups marinara sauce
Chopped fresh basil, for topping (optional)

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Cut the squash in half lengthwise and remove the seeds and any visible strings. Place the two halves cut-side down on a baking sheet and bake until soft, about 45 minutes.
  • In the meantime, coat a 13-by-9-inch baking dish with cooking spray. Heat the oil in a large saucepan over medium heat. Add the onion and saute until translucent, 5 to 7 minutes. Add the garlic and cook until fragrant, 2 minutes. Add the kale and chicken and cook down, about 5 minutes. Sprinkle with salt and pepper, and turn off the heat.
  • In a large bowl, combine the ricotta, egg, 1 1/2 cups mozzarella cheese and the cooked kale mixture. Stir until well combined and sprinkle with salt and pepper.
  • Spread 1/2 cup of marinara sauce on the bottom of the prepared baking dish, then spread half of the cooked spaghetti squash on top. Top with half of the ricotta mixture followed by 1 cup of marinara sauce. Repeat the layers once more, ending with a layer of sauce; sprinkle the top with the remaining 1/2 cup of mozzarella cheese.
  • Bake until it is hot and the cheese is melted, bubbling and slightly browned around the edges, 25 to 30 minutes. Let stand for about 10 minutes, then top with basil, if using, and serve.

This recipe was a waste of time and ingredients. It didn't turn out well at all.

I found this recipe to be too complicated. There were too many steps and ingredients involved.

Overall, this recipe was just okay. I've had better lasagna before.

The spaghetti squash was a bit too mushy for my taste. I would have preferred it to be more al dente.

This recipe was a bit bland. I had to add extra seasoning to make it more flavorful.

Easy to make and tasted great! I used a pre-made marinara sauce to save time and it still turned out amazing.

This lasagna was delicious! The spaghetti squash made it a healthier option and the chicken and cheese were so flavorful. I will definitely be making this again.

Loved this recipe! The only change I made was using ground turkey instead of chicken. It was a healthier alternative and it still tasted great.

This recipe was easy to follow and the lasagna turned out great! I used a store-bought Alfredo sauce to save time and it still tasted delicious. Highly recommend!

I'm not usually a fan of spaghetti squash, but this lasagna changed my mind. The squash was cooked perfectly and the chicken and cheese were so flavorful. I'll definitely be making this again.
