Here’s what you’ll need

I love a good low-ingredient recipe, and this one fits the bill each and every time. This means less time spent gathering items at the grocery store and more time spent enjoying each savory bite of this squash casserole. Jump to the recipe card for exact measurements and substitutions.

  • Spaghetti Squash: To start this recipe, snag two large, bright yellow spaghetti squash. Choose two that are void of soft spots and feel firm to the touch.
  • Broccoli: Next in this recipe, we’ll use 2 cups of broccoli florets. Fresh works best, but cauliflower would also work well here!
  • Olive Oil: We will use olive oil to crisp up the spaghetti squash and the broccoli in the oven.
  • Alfredo Sauce: Rather than making it from scratch, we’re opting for store-bought stuff (because who has time for that on a weeknight?). Choose your favorite Alfredo. 16-oz of any brand or recipe will work.
  • Shredded Mozzarella Cheese: Mix half of it into the casserole to lace your Alfredo casserole with cheesy deliciousness. Sprinkle the rest on top and broil to crispy brown perfection.

Freeze it!

This recipe makes a great freezer dish. Make it completely, let it cool, then freeze it. You can either freeze it in an aluminum tray, a freezer-safe baking dish, or a ziplock bag laid flat. When you want to enjoy it, reheat it from frozen or pop the frozen block into a slow cooker to reheat throughout the day.

flavorful variations

When making your casserole, there are a number of ways that you can customize it and add ingredients to make it your very own.

Instructions 

  • Prep: Preheat oven to 400°F (204°C). Cut spaghetti squash in half lengthwise and scoop out the seeds. Drizzle the insides with most of the olive oil and rub to evenly coat. Place cut-side down on a baking sheet and prick the outside with a fork. Spread broccoli florets onto the same baking sheet and drizzle with remaining olive oil, tossing to coat it evenly.

  • Roast: Roast for about 30 minutes, or until squash is fork tender but still a little firm. Broccoli should be lightly browned (if it cooks more quickly, take it out of the oven earlier than the squash). When squash is finished, flip it over and allow to cool enough to touch.

  • Spaghettify: Use a fork to scrape strands from the inside of the spaghetti squash.

  • Assemble: In a large bowl stir together spaghetti squash strands, roasted broccoli, Alfredo sauce, and ½ cup of the cheese. Pour into a large casserole dish and gently pack so that it's in an even layer. Sprinkle with remaining ½ cup of cheese.
