When you need a fast, filling dinner, stuffed spaghetti squash is an easy way to turn a garden squash into a complete meal. This version combines tender spaghetti squash with homemade pasta sauce and takes very little hands-on prep.


How To Make Homemade Pasta Sauce Stuffed Spaghetti Squash


This week is Christmas week, and I'm running short on time, so I decided to make a straightforward dinner recipe - Homemade Pasta Sauce Stuffed Spaghetti Squash. Keep reading to learn how I made this recipe.


During the holiday season, I feel like most people are busy shopping, wrapping gifts, and attending parties. Most people will grab something fast (and unhealthy) because they don't think they have time to make a healthy meal.


A Recipe For People With Limited Time


While this recipe takes 2 of my recipes and combines them into 1, the total prep time is less than 10 minutes. After you prep, you can get back to wrapping or decorating! The spaghetti squash is cooked in a pressure cooker, so you don't need to be in the kitchen while it cooks.


If you'd like to make Homemade Pasta Sauce Stuffed Spaghetti Squash, simply make each of the recipes included below. When the spaghetti squash is done, top it with the pasta sauce.




Easy Homemade Pasta Sauce


My easy homemade pasta sauce is perfect for a quick weeknight meal. If you are short on time, you can make the quick pasta sauce while the spaghetti squash is pressure cooked and have a filling meal quickly.


What To Add To Stuffed Spaghetti Squash


As you start putting the meal together, you may be wondering what you can add to the stuffed spaghetti squash for a full meal. Options are meatballs, pepperoni, fresh veggies, or tofu if you want a full vegetarian meal.


Of course, topping with fresh grated Parmesan cheese makes this feel very pasta-y.


Other Fast Meal Options


Sooner or later, I will get tired of eating spaghetti squash. When that happens, I have many recipes that are quick and easy. Most of my fast recipes are soups or curries. I have a great zucchini curry that takes about 30 minutes to make. I love making soups because they are warm and hearty, and I can just put in the ingredients and walk away.
