LASAGNA STUFFED SPAGHETTI SQUASH

Ingredients:

• 1.5 lbs of lean ground turkey or beef (I use turkey)
• 2 medium spaghetti squashes
• FOR THE SAUCE HERB MIXTURE:
• 1 t corn starch
• 2 t oregano
• 1 t sugar
• 1 t onion powder
• 2 t salt (I like to use coarse Kosher)
• 3 t minced garlic
• 1/2 t ground pepper

OTHER SAUCE INGREDIENTS:

• 1 T olive oil
• 1 15 oz can tomato sauce
• 1 15 oz can diced tomatoes (I like the petite diced the best)
• 1/4 C fresh chopped basil

FOR THE CHEESE MIXTURE:

• 1 C cottage cheese
• 1 C mozzarella cheese
• 1 egg
• 2 T Parmesan cheese
• 1 T fresh basil
• Top with additional mozzarella and Parmesan cheeses

Instructions:

1. Preheat your oven to 350.
2. First, we will start with the meat sauce. I use lean ground turkey, but you could use ground beef if you prefer. Brown your meat in a large skillet. While the meat is browning, mix up your herbs for the seasoning in a small dish. When the meat is about cooked through, open your cans of tomato sauce and diced tomatoes. Add a small spoonful of the tomato sauce from the can to your bowl of mixed herbs and stir completely. It will be a little pasty, but this is so that the corn starch won't be lumpy. Then scrape all the seasoning mixture along with the open cans of sauce and tomatoes into the skillet with the meat. Add the olive oil and fresh basil. Stir completely and let simmer for a few minutes.
