Spaghetti Squash Bake


Even the 3 year old loved this one.
It makes a ton, but is really only 4 adult servings.
To stretch it out add a salad or bread.
However, we think you'll love it just that way it is.
Be prepared for no leftovers.


*4 Cups cooked spaghetti squash {350 for 60 mins} {I did 375 for 60 mins & it was perfect}
1 Cup baby spinach- or more if you prefer
1 Cup sliced mushrooms
1 Cup all natural marinara sauce
1 Cup cooked quinoa {Combine quinoa & 2 cups water. Boil. Simmer 20 mins}
1 lb cooked turkey
1/4 Cup Choice of pecans or sliced almonds
Italian seasoning
Parmesan Cheese

Preheat oven 350.
Combine quinoa & squash and seasoning. Stir in spinach, mushrooms, marinara sauce, turkey, and pecans or almonds. Place in baking dish and cover with foil. Bake for 15 mins. Remove foil and bake 5 more mins to toast pecans or almonds.

Serve hot. Sprinkle with Parmesan cheese.

*Note: One spaghetti squash should yield 4 cups
