Spaghetti Squash Pie (Gluten Free and Dairy Free)

Spaghetti squash "pie" really satisfies the desire for a casserole without the carbs of noodles found in most old-style casseroles. I made this recipe for dinner, and I wanted to make it more of a Tex-Mex flavor, so I used 2 cans original Ro-Tel, and 1 and 1/2 tsp ground cumin, in lieu of the basil and oregano. This had a good flavor, but I think both cans of Ro-Tel should be drained, as I had some liquid in the bottom of the finished dish.

The sauce is delicious! I modified it a bit - using a big jar of diced tomatoes and a small can of diced chiles. I also used half a pound of ground elk and that was plenty. ****ALSO**** the squash should be cut width wise!! Not lengthwise - you’re cutting every strand in half so you don’t get the nice long spaghetti-like strands. Width wise is easier than cutting it along the length. I’ve seen so many recipes like this. Anyway, the sauce is great and would be delicious on regular pasta too.

I will definitely be making this again. Super easy.

This is real tasty and easy!!

My only complaint is that I’d rather it have two eggs. Three was a bit much. I had a small squash and liked it better. Usually I don’t like spaghetti squash and this was a smaller proportion to the other ingredients. I used fresh garden tomatoes and a can of chilies. Could have used two cans, there wasn’t any kick to it.

I modified using chicken tenders and roasted red peppers instead of turkey and diced tomatoes and tomato paste because it's what I had on hand and it turned out very well! I also served it with a gluten free dinner roll and garlic roasted green beans. YUM!!!

This was delicious. I added some sharp cheddar on top. Everyone in the family loved it.

I loved this recipe! The only change that I made was to add two eggs instead of three. I tried it right out of the oven and wasn't sure. But the more it cooled and the flavors melded, the better it became. I also had it cold for breakfast, and I think it's even more tasty than the night before. Definitely a keeper!

Well sort of made it. No tomatoes, no peppers, just spaghetti squash, onions, spinach, cheese, eggs, sour cream, and cooked ground beef and turkey mix. Turned out great and tasted fantastic!!!
