I had a spaghetti squash that needed to be used up so I baked it without using water, then loosened with fork to make spaghetti. I also used a flx meal egg (1 Tbsp. flax meal with 3 Tbsp. water). It turned out FABULOUS! We're empty nesters so I put it into 2 8x8 pans and froze 1. Even though I did make my own changes it's a wonderful, easy recipe and definitely a keeper.

Test Kitchen Tips<\/b>\r\n

  • Using lean ground beef instead of beef that\u2019s 80% lean saves 45 calories per 4-ounce serving of beef. Lean ground beef is also 29% lower in saturated fat.<\/li>\r\n
  • It\u2019s usually cheaper to buy cheese in blocks rather than already shredded. Purchase large quantities of cheddar, Monterey Jack and mozzarella, then use a food processor to shred it yourself. Store the shredded cheese in the freezer so you have it when you need it.<\/li>\r\n
