"This recipe has all the flavours of an Italian pasta dish without the pasta. I always increase the amount of herbs and add hot pepper flakes."

Great casserole which we all enjoyed - made as directed except I used skim ricotta cheese. Thanks for sharing!

We all love spaghetti squash, and we all loved this casserole. Other than subbing crushed pork puffs (for those needing to avoid flour) made as directed with wonderful results. We like spicy so did as you suggested and increased the herbs and hot pepper flakes. Another Luv recipe to my Family Favourites!

I made this using tofutti sour cream instead of ricotta and brown rice bread crumbs. Also, instead of using the grated parmesan I used vegan cheese shreds. These changes were made due to food intolerances and this casserole tasted awesome. I will be making this often.

Great casserole. Made as written and wouldn't change anything. Good side for pork.
