How to make Spaghetti Squash Lasagna

Preheat oven to 375.

Add 2 eggs to the container of cottage cheese and mix well.

Alternately you can put the cottage cheese into a mixing bowl, add the eggs and mix well. I just prefer to dirty less dishes, don’t we all?

Place a small amount of pasta sauce in the bottom of a 9×13 baking pan.

Place 3 lasagna noodles into the bottom of the pan.

Top with a layer of sauce

half of the squash

half of the cottage cheese

and half of the spinach.

Top with a layer of cheese.

Repeat with a second layer.

Once you have the second layer, add 3 lasagna noodles to the top, a layer of sauce and cheese.

Cover tightly with aluminum foil and bake for 35-40 minutes.

Remove foil and return to the oven for an additional 5-10 minutes or until cheese is melted on the top.

Let set for 10 minutes before serving.
