Cheesy Spaghetti Squash Casserole

Ingredients:

• 1 medium spaghetti squash
• 1 lb ground beef
• 1 onion, diced
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 can diced tomatoes
• 1 cup marinara sauce
• 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
• 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
• 1 tsp dried oregano
• 1 tsp dried basil
• Salt and pepper to taste
• Fresh basil leaves for garnish

Directions:

1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
2. Cut the spaghetti squash in half lengthwise, scoop out the seeds, and place cut-side down on a baking sheet. Roast for 40-45 minutes until tender. Allow to cool slightly, then use a fork to scrape out the strands into a bowl.
3. In a skillet, cook the ground beef over medium heat until browned. Add the onion and garlic, cooking until softened.
4. Stir in the diced tomatoes, marinara sauce, oregano, basil, salt, and pepper. Simmer for 5 minutes.
5. In a greased casserole dish, layer half of the spaghetti squash, followed by half of the meat sauce, and half of the mozzarella and Parmesan cheeses. Repeat the layers.
6. Bake in the oven for 20-25 minutes until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
7. Garnish with fresh basil leaves before serving.
