I love spaghetti squash, and Ive been eating bowls of it entirely on its own. But I realize there are times when I must also eat like a civilized adult person, so I decided to make a casserole. As I added ingredients that I fancied, it turned into a noodle-less lasagna dish. I ended up with one to eat and one to freeze, as well as two small bowls left over with just the meatless filling.
I will use the small bowls of filling for lunches this week, along with some of the leftover salsa and some roasted root veggies. Fresh veggies are getting expensive this time of year, and its getting colder out, so lunches are switching to warm foods and cheaper root veggie dishes. Im thinking of creating an everything tofu Buddha bowl with vegan queso sauce- its an experiment based on what Im kind of craving, melded with what I have available to use. Ill post it if it turns out the way Im hoping. In the meantime, here is my lasagna dish:
