SPAGHETTI SQUASH CASSEROLE RECIPE BY TASTY

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400˚F (200°C). Grease a 9 x 13-inch baking dish with nonstick spray.
• On a cutting board, cut the spaghetti squash in half lengthwise. Scoop out the seeds and discard. Drizzle 1 tablespoon of olive oil over the cut sides of the squash, then transfer to a rimmed baking sheet, cut side-down.
• Bake the squash until fork-tender, about 1 hour. Let the spaghetti squash cool for 5 minutes, then use a fork to pull the strands of spaghetti squash and transfer to a medium bowl.
• In a large pot or Dutch oven, heat the remaining tablespoon of olive oil over medium-high heat. Once the oil begins to shimmer, add the onion and cook until softened and light golden, about 5 minutes. Add the garlic and red pepper flakes and cook, stirring constantly, until aromatic, about 1 minute.
• Add the ground beef and cook, breaking up the meat with a wooden spoon, until browned and cooked through, about 5 minutes. Add the tomato paste and cook, stirring often, until combined, about 1 minute.
• Add the diced tomatoes, salt, and pepper, and stir to combine. Bring to a simmer, cover, and cook for 5 minutes. Stir in the spaghetti squash until well combined.
• Transfer the mixture to the prepared baking dish and spread in an even layer. Sprinkle the cheese over the casserole.
• Bake until the cheese is melted and golden brown, about 20 minutes. Remove from the oven and let the casserole cool for 5 minutes.
• Top with the basil, then serve.
• Enjoy!
