Chrissy Teigen's Spaghetti Squash Lasagna

  • Total time: 1 Hour
  • Servings: 4 Servings

Ingredients

For the Roasted Squash:

  • 2 Spaghetti Squashes
  • 1 Tbsp Olive Oil
  • 1/8 tsp Salt
  • 1/8 tsp Pepper

For the Bolognese:

  • 3 Tbsp Olive Oil
  • 2 Large Carrots
  • 3 Celery Stalks
  • 1 Large Shallot
  • 10 Large Cloves of Garlic
  • 2 lbs Ground Turkey
  • 1/4 tsp Salt
  • 1/4 tsp Pepper
  • 1 1/2 Jars of Marinara Sauce
  • 1 Large Handful of Fresh Basil, roughly chopped
  • 1/2 tsp Chili Flakes (optional)
  • 1/2 tsp Italian Seasoning (optional)

For the Ricotta Filling:

  • 1 Tub of Ricotta
  • 1 Cup Grated Parmesan Cheese
  • 3 Tbsp of Jarred Pesto
  • 1/8 tsp Salt
  • 1/8 tsp Pepper

For the Topping:

  • 1 Cup Shredded Mozzarella
  • 2 Tbsp Chopped Parsley

Directions

  • 1)

    To make the roasted squash, cut the spaghetti squash in half, remove the seeds and veggie hairs, brush with olive oil, and season with salt and pepper.

  • 2)

    Place the squash face down on a baking sheet and roast at 400°F for 35-40 minutes.

  • 3)

    To make the Bolognese, roughly chop the carrots, celery, shallot, and garlic. Add olive oil to a pan and heat over medium-high. Add the garlic, shallots, carrots, and celery to the pan and cook until slightly soft, about seven to eight minutes.

  • 4)

    Add ground turkey, breaking it up with wooden spoon. Cook until it’s no longer pink. Season with salt, pepper, and optional chili flakes and Italian seasoning.

  • 5)

    Add marinara sauce and basil. Simmer until thick and chunky (remove some juice along the way with a ladle if you like your Bolognese on the hearty side).

  • 6)

    For the ricotta filling, mix ricotta with grated parmesan and jarred pesto. Season with salt and pepper.

  • 7)

    To assemble, add a layer of ricotta mix to the roasted squash boat, followed by a heaping scoop of meat sauce. Top with shredded mozzarella, and put it back into the oven until melty.

  • 8)

    Top with chopped parsley and enjoy!

Notes

Serve with a buttered baguette (Chrissy recommends the garlic bread recipe from NYT Cooking).
