When I started the 2B Mindset program I didn’t know that I would learn to love vegetables. Sure I liked vegetables but I always stayed with the ones I grew up knowing about. Then I saw the recipe I wanted to try because I really love Lasagna, well all Italian food just about. It was the Spaghetti Squash Lasagna recipe that made me say, “YES! I can do this.

To prepare, I went shopping for all the ingredients. I picked out two Spaghetti Squashes, just in case I messed up the first one. Rouses was a great spot to find what I needed. The fresh grated Mozzarella, the All-Natural Marinara, and the Ricotta Cheese.

Now I will tell you (if you are preparing Spaghetti Squash for the first time), is it has a tough skin. I had to look up online “How to Cut a Spaghetti Squash.” The answer, you have to make knife marks of where you expect to cut it. Then you heat it up in the microwave for about 5-minutes.

After, preparing each layer of goodness, I finally had a lasagna to put in the oven. Reminder: THE OVEN IS HOT. I burnt my wrist on the bottom of the convection oven I was using. You can use a regular oven but I didn’t want to use a lot of electricity.

Without ado, here is the 2B Mindset Spaghetti Squash recipe.

So Delicious
