Method
- Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Cut the spaghetti squash in half lengthwise and scoop out the seeds. Brush the cut surfaces with 1 tablespoon of olive oil and season with salt. Place on a baking sheet cut side up and roast for 40 minutes until tender.
- Meanwhile, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large pan over medium-high heat. Add ground chicken and cook, breaking it up with a spoon, until browned and cooked through (about 6-8 minutes). Season with salt, pepper, and Italian seasoning. Remove and set aside.
- In the same pan, heat 1 tablespoon olive oil and add the minced garlic. Cook briefly for a few seconds, then add the spinach and stir until wilted and the liquid has evaporated.
- Add the drained and chopped artichokes and sauté for a minute, then add the blended cottage cheese and Greek yogurt. Stir until warmed through. Add the cooked ground chicken back to the pan.
- Take off the heat and stir in the mayonnaise, grated Parmesan cheese (keeping 2 tablespoons aside), and 1 cup of mozzarella until well combined.
- Evenly divide the mixture among the 4 squash halves. Sprinkle with the remaining Parmesan cheese and remaining 1/2 cup mozzarella.
- Bake in the oven for 20-25 minutes or until the filling is bubbly and golden on top. Let rest for 5 minutes before serving.
Notes
For meal prep, store stuffed squash halves in airtight containers for up to 4 days. Reheat covered in a 350°F oven for best results. Can be frozen for up to 2 months, though squash texture may soften slightly upon thawing.
