Ingredients:
One large spaghetti squash
1 pound of ground beef
1 cup of dry white wine
Olive oil
1 small can of tomato paste
1 can of diced tomatoes
1 can of tomato sauce
Powder garlic
Powder onion
basil
oregano
Bay leaves
1 large Onion
1 bell pepper
Minced garlic to your liking
1/2 cup of sliced mushrooms
3 cups of mozzarella or any type of cheese
16 ounces of ricotta or farmer's cheese
1 large egg
1/2 cup of Parmesan cheese
Set your oven to 400°. Slice the large spaghetti squash in half longways and deseed it. Pour the 1/2 of white wine into a 9 x 13 pan. Season the inside of spaghetti squash with salt and pepper, Powdered garlic ,powder onion, basil ,and oregano. Place the squash inside down into the white wine and cover with foil And place into the 400° oven for about 30 minutes or until the outside of the squash becomes soft. Once it has become soft and golden brown take out of the pan and set so it may cool completely. While your squash is cooling make the sauce. Turn your oven down to 375°.
Put your olive oil or any other fat into The bottom of this large saucepan so that your ground meat will not stick. Browned meat and season with salt and pepper and minced garlic .Once your meat has become brown add your large diced onion and diced bell pepper and sliced mushrooms. You may pour out the excessive fat at this point if you choose. This is when I like to add my oregano and basil and bay leaf. Once your onions Becomes translucent then add your tomato paste. I allow my tomato paste to get a little brown so that it turns rich in flavor. Add your can of diced tomatoes and add your add your tomato sauce and let come to a boil. put lid on and turn it down to simmer. I like to simmer for about 20 minutes.
Now That your squash has become completely cool go ahead and take it out of the skin. Add it directly into the sauce in the sauce pan Stirring very , very gently. This is where I add in the half cup of Parmesan cheese so that it becomes a bit thicker.
To make the ricotta filling you want to add the whole 16 ounces of ricotta cheese or farmers cheese into a bowl add one large egg and one cup of mozzarella or any other cheese Sprinkle with a little bit of oregano, basil, salt and pepper and mix well.
Now is time to Layer it!
Place a little bit of olive oil into the 9 x 13 pan. Ladle and half of the spaghetti squash and sauce mixture. Then make a layer of ricotta cheese. Then ladle the remaining half of spaghetti sauce mixture on top of that. I placed it into 375° oven uncovered for about 25 minutes. Then I took out and covered the top with 2 cups of mozzarella cheese and placed it back into the oven until it became nice and golden brown. What is become golden brown take it out of the oven and let it cool for about 25 minutes so that it can set.
Now Admit this meal takes a lot of time to make! But it's very delicious and well worth it! If you make it ,tell me how it turns out! I would love to hear if You modify in any way like I said be creative!
