Introduction

My husband dislikes spaghetti squash, unless I prepare it in a way he doesn't recognize it as squash. He loves this dish, usually has seconds, and will even it as leftovers (if there are any). You can add a half cup of small curd cottage cheese or ricotta cheese before the meat sauce to make it more like real lasagna.
