INGREDIENTS
1 spaghetti squash, cut and deseeded
2 cups low-fat cottage cheese, blended if don’t like the texture
1/2 cup marinara
17 (about 1 serving) uncured turkey pepperoni
1/2 tsp Italian seasoning
Desired jarred olives
Desired jarred peperoncini peppers
-
2 oz feta, crumbled
STEPS
I bought already cut squash but if you have a whole one, microwave 1 min to soften and cut in half and deseed.
Place squash flesh up on a lined sheet pan. Spray with avocado oil and add cottage cheese (1 c each), marinara (1/4 c each), Italian seasoning (1/4 tsp each), desired toppings and cheese (1 oz cheese each).
Cook at 425° covered with foil for 40 minutes.
Remove foil and cook 15- 20 more min. Make sure the spaghetti squash is cooked through and enjoy!
