Time 1h30m

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 spaghetti squash, about 3 pounds
1 lb ground lean lamb
1/2 lb ground lean beef
1 medium onion, chopped
1 clove garlic, minced
1 can(s) (8 oz.) tomato sauce
3/4 tsp dry tarragon
1 1/2 tsp each dry basil and dry oregano leaves
1/4 tsp pepper
salt, as desired
1/2 c freshly grated parmesan cheese
2 c jack cheese, shredded

Steps:

  • 1. Cook squash: With the tines of a cooking fork or paring knife, pierce squash in several places. Place whole squash in a baking dish (about 9" square). Bake at 375 degrees until tender when pierced; about 45 minutes.
  • 2. Meanwhile, cook lamb and beef in large frying pan over medium high heat stirring often, until meat is browned. Add onion and garlic, cook, stirring often, about 5 min. until onion is soft. Drain off fat. Stir in tomato sauce, tarragon, basil, oregano and pepper into meat. Season to taste with salt. Reduce heat and simmer, uncovered about 15 min., stir often.
  • 3. Cut cooked squash in half lengthwise, then scoop out and discard seeds. With a fork, shred out half the squash into a shallow 3 quart baking dish (13x9). Spread squash with half of the meat mixture, and over that half of the parmesan cheese and half of the jack cheese. Repeat layers.
  • 4. Bake casserole, uncovered, in a 350 degree oven until heated through, 25 - 30 minutes. Let stand 5 - 10 minutes before serving.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my moussaka turned out dry and bland. I followed the recipe exactly, so I'm not sure what happened.

I followed the recipe exactly and my moussaka turned out great! The only thing I would change is to add a bit more seasoning to the meat sauce.

I'm not a huge fan of spaghetti squash, but I thought this recipe was pretty good. The moussaka filling was very tasty and the spaghetti squash was cooked well.

This recipe is a great way to use up leftover spaghetti squash. I had some leftover from a previous meal and this was the perfect way to use it up.
