Spaghetti Squash Turkey Sausage Lasagna Boats
These Spaghetti Squash Turkey Sausage Lasagna Boats are perfect if you are trying to portion control your meals. We love lasagna, but try to avoid eating heavy carbohydrate meals whenever we can so this recipe offers the perfect solution. These lasagna boats are oozing with cheesy goodness, but they are a lot friendlier to your waistline. Instead of traditional noodles, you use the spaghetti squash “noodles” and we skinnied this dish up even further by using a low fat shredded mozzarella cheese, turkey sausage instead of hamburger, and low fat ricotta. We also used a low sodium pasta sauce to make it a heart-healthy meal. Your family will appreciate that you’re trying to keep them healthy, but more importantly, they’ll love the flavor of this healthy meal. As an added bonus for you, this is a very economical meal coming in at just under $10.00 for two.
