Transforming pizza flavors into a healthy dish, this Pizza Spaghetti Squash Casserole is nutritious, gluten-free, and family-friendly.

1 medium Spaghetti Squash
1 pound Ground Beef or turkey/chicken for a leaner option
2 tablespoons Italian Sausage Seasoning or mix of garlic powder, oregano and basil
2 cups Riced Vegetables like broccoli or cauliflower
2 cups Fresh Spinach or kale/swiss chard
1 cup Organic Pizza Sauce or homemade marinara
to taste Salt
to taste Black Pepper

Preheat your oven to 400°F. Slice the spaghetti squash lengthwise, scoop out the seeds, and season it with salt and pepper. Bake for approximately 35 minutes until tender and easily shredded.
In a large skillet over medium-high heat, brown the ground beef with Italian sausage seasoning and half the salt for 7-10 minutes.
Stir in the riced vegetables and fresh spinach, cooking for about 5 minutes until tender.
Scrape the cooked squash strands into a casserole dish. Layer the meat and vegetable mixture followed by the organic pizza sauce. Mix everything together gently.
Sprinkle cheese on top if desired, then return the casserole to the oven for an additional 20-25 minutes until heated through and the cheese is melted.

Add fresh basil as a garnish for an extra burst of flavor. Store in airtight containers for easy reheating.
