Spaghetti Squash Pie Recipe 455

Steps:

• Cut the spaghetti squash in half and scoop out the seeds and pulp. Pierce slits in the rind with the knife, then microwave on high for 12 minutes. Let cool. Microwave spinach to cook, let cool, then drain/pat dry. Crack egg into a large mixing bowl and add ricotta. Mix with a wooden spoon. Add marinara and mix. Add spinach and spices. Use a fork to "shred" spaghetti squash flesh into strands. Put strands in bowl with sauce and toss to combine. Transfer to a lightly greased dish. Sprinkle the cheese on top along with the panko. Bake for 25 minutes on 375. Makes six servings (2.5-3 cups each). Number of Servings: 4

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
• Beat the sugar and eggs together in a mixing bowl until light and frothy. Beat in the butter, lemon juice, and vanilla until well blended. Stir in the spaghetti squash. Pour the mixture into the prebaked pie shell. If desired, dust the top with nutmeg and cinnamon.
• Bake the pie in preheated oven until a knife inserted in the center comes out clean, 40 to 45 minutes. Cool on a rack before serving. Garnish with whipped cream, if desired.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350*F. Coat a 9-inch baking pan with cooking spray.
• Put all ingredients except squash in your blender and whiz on low for a minute or so.
• Stir in the squash by hand. Pour mixture in the pan. Let stand 5 minutes.
• Bake for 30-40 minutes or until just set. The top will puff up and brown.
• NB: I like it better cold. The cornmeal settles to the bottom and forms a kind of sweet polenta crust.

Steps:

• Spray 9" pie pan with non stick spray.
• Mix squash noodles with egg whites and parmesan cheese press into pan forming crust.
• Spread with yogurt.
• Cook ground beef in skillet with onions, green peppers, garlic and any of the spices and or herbs that you have chosen. When meat is brown, add tomatoes and tomato sauce.
• Add meat mixture to noodle crust and bake at 350 degrees for 20 minutes.
