Spaghetti Squash Pie
Spaghetti Squash Pie
Ingredients:
3 cups spaghetti squash strands*
1 beaten egg
1/3 cup Parmesan cheese
1 cup ricotta
1 beaten egg
1/2 lb ground beef
1/2 cup onion, chopped
1/4 cup green pepper, chopped
2 cups tomato sauce
garlic powder, oregano, basil, parsley
1/2 cup mozzarella, shredded
Preheat oven to 350F. Mix squash, 1 egg and Parmesan. Press evenly into 9" pie plate.
Mix ricotta and other egg and spread over squash mixture.
In skillet, brown ground beef with onion and green pepper. Drain excess fat. Add tomato sauce and spices and
simmer for few minutes. Spoon over ricotta mixture in pie plate. Bake approx. 15 min.
Sprinkle with mozzarella and bake 10 min. more to brown cheese. Remove from oven
and let sit 5-10 min before cutting. Serves 6 - 11 carb per serving.
*To cook spaghetti squash, pierce with a long knife to the center in 3 or 4 places, then put in the microwave for 15 min. Steam should be coming out of the holes at the end of this time. If not, microwave for another 4 to 5 minutes. Let squash sit in the microwave for 10 minutes after cooking.
Cut in half, scoop out seeds and run fork over the squash - it will separate into spaghetti- type
strands.
