I’m in the process of cleaning out my frig until after Christmas so rather than buy any new groceries, I’m using what I have. Today that included a large spaghetti squash, marinara sauce, mozzarella cheese, mushrooms and kale. My first thought was to make a spaghetti squash casserole.

While the squash baked, I cooked the mushrooms down in a bit of oil and then added the marinara sauce, garlic, and seasonings. After the squash finished baking, I shredded it down into ‘spaghetti strands’ and added it to the sauce mixture. I’ve seen recipes that don’t add the squash until it is in the casserole dish. Call it personal preference. Don’t forget the kale like I did. It didn’t matter. I threw it in raw and at the last minute. Now it’s ready to be poured into the casserole dish.

Now the best part – the cheese. I used approximately 2 cups of mozzarella. Use whatever cheese you like; you can even sprinkle on some grated parmesan cheese before adding your layer of shredded.

I wanted to make this vegetarian for meatless Monday but then I found some pepperoni in the frig so I thought why not? Might as well get rid of that too. As you can see, I only had enough for half.

Sky is the limit for this. Sausage, pepperoni, mushrooms, onions, olives, pineapple…use what you like.  You really can’t go wrong with this recipe.
