Steps:
- Cook the spaghetti squash: follow Roasted Spaghetti Squash or Instant Pot Spaghetti Squash.
- Allow the squash to cool slightly, then use a fork to scrape out the squash into "spaghetti" strands. Place the noodles in a colander or strainer and rest for 10 minutes to remove any extra moisture.
- In a bowl, combine the pesto, Parmesan, and squash noodles. Toss until well combined. Taste, and add additional salt or pesto as necessary. (Leftovers store in the refrigerator for a few days; you may have to refresh the flavor with additional pesto.)

PESTO SPAGHETTI SQUASH
When making this meal for the first time, I wanted to use items I would normally incorporate with pasta, such as pesto and mushrooms. Combining all of these things together creates a wonderful dish that most people would enjoy; I know I did! Serve with some garlic bread and mashed potatoes. Enjoy!

Steps:
- Boil spaghetti squash about 40 minutes, until tender when pierced with knife. Drain, allow to cool somewhat, then split in half lengthwise.
- Using large spoon, scrape out seeds and strings to which they are attached and discard. Using forks, scrape flesh of squash away from skin and transfer to large saucepan. Flesh will lift up in clumps of strands that separate easily. Season lightly with salt and pepper.

BAKED SPAGHETTI SQUASH
Once baked and scraped into noodle-like strands, spaghetti squash becomes a frequent pasta understudy, tossed with pesto, tomato sauce or roasted vegetables. But it's a versatile ingredient, as its mild flavor and gentle crunch also make it a good base for stews or even curries. For a basic roasted spaghetti squash recipe, follow Step 1, scrape the insides into strands, and be on your way. For a complete side dish, proceed with the rest of the recipe and top with herby breadcrumbs and Parmesan. You can also add mozzarella, which will melt into delicious little pools among the squash strands.

Steps:
- Heat the oven to 450 degrees. Brush the cut side of each squash half with 1 tablespoon olive oil, then season with salt and pepper. Place squash, cut-sides down, on a parchment-lined baking sheet and roast until the squash is tender when poked with a fork, 35 to 40 minutes.
- Meanwhile, in a small bowl, stir together the Parmesan, panko, garlic, thyme and the remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil. Season with salt and pepper.
- Flip the squash and use a fork to scrape the squash into spaghetti strands. Stir in half the mozzarella, if using, then sprinkle the squash with the remaining mozzarella and the panko mixture. Roast until the top is golden brown and mozzarella has melted, 20 to 25 minutes.

- Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (204 C) and line a large baking sheet (or more if increasing batch size) with foil.
- Carefully halve spaghetti squash lengthwise using a sharp knife. I find the best way is to pierce the skin with the very tip of the knife and push it all the way through to the other side. Rock the knife back and forth to cut one half all the way through, then repeat on the other side. Use an ice cream scoop (or sharp spoon) to scrape out the seeds and most of the stringy parts.
- Brush the interior with oil and sprinkle with a little salt. Place cut-side down on baking sheet. Roast for 45 minutes, or until a knife easily pierces the skin and flesh. Remove from oven and set aside.
- In the meantime, add cashews, pine nuts, nutritional yeast, and sea salt to a blender or food processor and pulse until a fine meal.

- Roast the spaghetti squash: Heat oven to 400 degrees F. Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper for easy clean up. Rub the cut sides of the squash with olive oil and season to taste with salt and pepper. Place the squash, cut side down, on the prepared baking sheet. Transfer to the oven and bake for 40-50 minutes, or until the squash is tender and easily pierced with a fork. When squash is cooked and cool enough to handle, use a fork to gently scrape out the strands of squash and discard squash “shells”. Transfer the squash strands, in batches, to a kitchen towel or tea towel. Squeeze the excess water out of the spaghetti squash. Transfer to a bowl and set aside. Keep the oven at 400 degrees F.
- While the spaghetti squash roasts, make the pesto ricotta mixture: In a medium bowl, combine the ricotta with the pesto, garlic, and 1/3 cup parmesan cheese. Season with ¼ teaspoon salt and 1/8 teaspoon ground black pepper. Stir to combine. Set aside.
- Add flavor to your marinara: Stir fresh basil into your marinara sauce. Taste. Adjust your sauce to taste with salt and pepper. Set aside.
- Assemble the casserole: Grease 9x13-inch casserole dish. Spread ¾ cup of the tomato sauce onto the bottom of the dish. Top with half of the cooked spaghetti squash noodles. Top with half (1 ½ cups) of the ricotta mixture followed by half (1 ¼ cups) of the remaining tomato sauce and half (4 ounces) of the mozzarella cheese. Repeat with the remaining squash noodles, ricotta and tomato sauce. Sprinkle with remaining mozzarella cheese and remaining 1/3 cup parmesan cheese.
