Sometimes I make something absolutely DELISH without realizing it’s going to be good enough to blog about (meaning I don’t take pictures along the way). This old-fashioned comfort dish is one of them. I’ve had several requests for the recipe, so let’s go for a mini-post!<\/p>\n

Ham and Spaghetti Squash Casserole<\/strong>
\nServes 4 – 6<\/p>\n

1\/2 of a large-ish cooked, seasoned spaghetti squash (about 4 cups) [*]
\n1 small onion, diced fine
\nExtra virgin olive oil
\n2 cups cubed ham
\n1 container plain greek yogurt
\n1 1\/2 – 2 cups shredded cheese [**]<\/p>\n

Cook the onion in a tablespoon or two of olive oil until soft and slightly colored. Allow to cool.<\/p>\n

Preheat your oven to 375F. Gently mix the cooled squash, onion, ham, yogurt, and a cup or so of the cheese (reserve some for later) in a large bowl. Pour into a 7″ by 10″ baking dish that you’ve sprayed with baking spray. Bake 30 – 45 minutes until it starts to get all bubbly. Sprinkle the reserved cheese over the top and cook another 10 or 15 minutes until it’s brown and crusty.<\/p>\n

Serve hot with some crusty bread.<\/p>\n

And maybe a glass of wine :).<\/p>\n

[*] I roasted off a large spaghetti squash earlier this winter, generously seasoned with olive oil, salt, pepper, rosemary, and thyme. We ate half at the time and I froze the remainder, so this casserole used the frozen portion. Drain well after thawing — it tends to give off some water as it thaws. There’s a great pictorial at theKitchn<\/a> that describes how to roast a spaghetti squash. Also, it turns out that dogs love spaghetti squash too.<\/p>\n

[**] Any melty cheese will work. I think I used a combination of something frozen and unlabelled, cheddar, and “six cheese Italian”, since I had partial bags of all.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
