Pizza, spaghetti, and squash? Sounds unlikely, but wait for the explosion of flavor when you try this surprisingly easy pizza stuffed spaghetti squash!
Toppings: sliced mushrooms, chopped red onion, green peppers, pepperoni
Instructions
Preheat oven to 400ºF. Line baking sheet with parchment paper.
Cut spaghetti squash in half lengthwise, from stem to bottom. Scoop out seeds. Rub spaghetti squash halves with olive oil, and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Place cut side down on prepared baking sheet and bake 35 to 40 minutes, or until fork tender. Turn oven to broil setting.
While squash is baking, prepare spinach. Heat one teaspoon olive oil in large sauté pan. Add spinach leaves and lightly sauté. Remove from heat. Prepare other toppings.
Remove spaghetti squash halves from oven and lightly fluff strands with fork, so that they resemble spaghetti.
Divide and add sautéed spinach to the squash halves, mixing lightly with the squash strands. Spread ¼ cup pizza sauce on each half; sprinkle ½ cup mozzarella cheese on each. Top with desired toppings.
Broil squash halves 4 to 5 minutes, or until cheese is bubbling and lightly browned.
Notes
To double recipe, use 2 spaghetti squash and double the rest of the ingredients.
Use any of your favorite pizza toppings: black or green olives, sausage, ham, red peppers, etc. Customize with cheese, sauce, meats, etc. Whatever you like on your pizza!
