     Title: Million Dollar Spaghetti Squash Pasta
Categories: Pasta
     Yield: 4 Servings

   1/2 lb Lean ground beef or meat
          -substitute
    24 oz Marinara sauce
     1 c  Ricotta cheese
 1 1/2 c  Mozzarella cheese; shredded,
          -divided
   1/4 c  Parmesan cheese; grated
     1 ts Italian seasoning
          Salt and pepper

 Prep Time: 10 minutes
 Cook Time: 1 hour 20 minutes
 Total Time: 1 hour 30 minutes

 Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Carefully cut the spaghetti squash
 in half lengthwise and discard the seeds and membranes

 Place the squash halves in a baking dish. Bake squash for 50-60
 minutes or until just fork tender. Let cool for 10 minutes, then use
 a fork to loosen and shred the squash.

 Meanwhile, heat a medium skillet over medium heat. Add the beef and
 cook, stirring and breaking up the beef, until cooked through and
 browned, about 7-10 minutes. Strain any excess grease from the pan,
 then add the marinara sauce and simmer for another 2-3 minutes. Taste
 and season with salt and pepper to taste.

 Mix the ricotta with the Italian seasoning, a pinch of salt and
 pepper, parmesan cheese, and 1 c shredded mozzarella.

 Pour about half of the marinara sauce mixture over the spaghetti
 squash halves, and use a fork to stir the sauce with the shredded
 squash. Spread the ricotta mixture on top, then the rest of the
 marinara sauce. Top with remaining 1/2 c mozzarella cheese.

 Transfer to the oven and bake for another 10-20 minutes or until the
 cheese is melted and browned in some spots. Broil on high for 2-3
 minutes, if desired for further browning. Remove from the oven and
 let cool for 5 minutes before serving.
