Low-Fat Spaghetti Squash Casserole
Creamy, cheesy goodness of a pasta dish without the starch and a lot less fat. My husband was a big skeptic, but after he tried it, he went back for seconds! I like to make this on the weekend to reheat during the week to cut down on cooking after work. Can be reheated in the oven with a cover and comes out fine. Serve with a green salad or a side vegetable.

- In a very large mixing bowl, combine cottage cheese, mozzarella, half of the romano cheese, parsley and basil. Mix well.
- Add the sauteed veggies and combine.
- Add the spaghetti squash, folding it into the mixture.
- Spray a 13x9 inch baking dish with non-stick spray. Layer the squash mixture evenly.
