Spaghetti squash is one of those ingredients that I adore but often forget about. Sorry, spaghetti squash! It’s so versatile, usually on sale, and yields so much yumminess.

My friend Christina, over at The Whole Cook has an awesome recipe for Baked Spaghetti Squash Casserole and that’s what inspired this recipe. One of my most popular blog posts, How To Cook Spaghetti Squash in the Oven, recently got a little makeover so I’ve been cooking with this squash a lot more than usual.

I realize that a lot (A LOT) of my recipes are either taco related or pizza, but I haven’t heard any complaints! I could seriously live off tacos and pizza, they’re just so delicious and always hit the spot. Sometimes though, I like to keep myself in check and eat a little healthier.

This recipe is perfect for when you’re craving a cheesy and comforting pizza, but you haven’t worked out all week… Oops, guilty!

This spaghetti squash pizza casserole is seriously so simple, as the oven does most of the work. It’s one of those recipes perfect for weeknights that also serve as an awesome lunch the next day.

I used to hate leftovers but they truly make my life so much easier now that I’m cooking just about all my meals. If you have any casserole leftovers, just store the baking dish covered in your refrigerator and when you’re ready to reheat, grab a serving, and pop it in the microwave.

    I’ve done something similar with gluten free pasta, but I really love the idea of the spaghetti squash. It is a great way to lighten up the meal. I’m glad to see that it reheats well, too. Perfect for my husband’s lunches!

    Love spaghetti squash and the bonus is my kids love it too. I have them thinking it really is pasta, which they love. This looks like a recipe they would love.

      Thanks Nicole 🙂 I’m lactose intolerant too. I’ve been trying different vegan cheeses for years. My favorites are Daiya Cutting Board, Go Veggie, and So Delicious. I like cheese alternatives but my husband isn’t a fan so he just takes his meals without it.

    I think I might actually be able to do this! My oldest daughter is a vegan, and I constantly struggle to find something I can make, something she can eat, and something the rest of the family would actually eat.

    I don’t have a lot of experience cooking with squash so I am always looking for new ideas. I also love pastas but the carbs are just killer!!
