Description

A delicious Maple Streusel Cake with Browned Butter that delights everyone with its rich flavors and textures.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 medium spaghetti squash (approximately 4 pounds total)
  • 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon sea salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1 cup creamy ricotta cheese
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 cup cooked spinach (fresh or thawed and drained)
  • 1/2 cup chopped tomatoes (fresh or canned)
  • 1 teaspoon mixed Italian herbs (basil, oregano, etc.)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F.
  2. Slice the spaghetti squashes in half lengthwise and remove the seeds.
  3. Drizzle the insides with olive oil and season with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder.
  4. Place the squash halves, cut side down, on a baking sheet and roast for 30-40 minutes until tender.
  5. After cooling slightly, use a fork to scrape the flesh into spaghetti-like strands and transfer to a large mixing bowl.
  6. Incorporate the ricotta cheese, 1/2 cup of mozzarella, Parmigiano-Reggiano, egg, cooked spinach, chopped tomatoes, and Italian herbs. Stir until well blended.
  7. Pour the mixture into a greased 9×13-inch baking dish, spreading it evenly.
  8. Sprinkle the remaining mozzarella cheese on top.
  9. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and golden brown.
  10. Allow to rest for 5-10 minutes before serving.

Notes

  • For an extra kick, consider mixing in 1/2 teaspoon of red pepper flakes.
  • You can swap out the spinach for cooked ground turkey or sausage to boost protein content.
