Spaghetti Squash Casserole made with tomatoes, Italian spices, creamy ricotta cheese and parmesan is a delicious and hearty vegetarian-friendly dinner option or delicious side dish.
Bake squash face down, on parchment lined baking sheet for 45-60 minutes.
Let cool slightly and scoop out insides.
While squash bakes, in a large skillet saute the onions and garlic with oregano, basil, thyme and a pinch of salt and pepper. Once softened, add tomatoes.
