Your weeknight dinner just got a lot more tasty with this Lasagna Stuffed Spaghetti Squash recipe featuring GALBANI® RICOTTA AND MOZZARELLA CHEESE.

Lasagna Stuffed Squash Boats recipe from dineanddish.net

One of my travel bucket list items is to visit Italy. In fact, I’m trying to convince my husband that we need to go sooner rather than later. I dream of the cafes, coffee, pasta, fresh ingredients, loaves of bread and most importantly…the cheese.

Italian food is one of my absolute favorite cuisines and I love incorporating delicious Italian recipes into our busy weeknight meals. No matter what I make for my family, if it’s Italian, it’s a sure-fire guarantee that they’ll eat it! If I can’t visit Italy any time soon, I can do my best to bring a little bit of Italy into my Kansas kitchen.

Galbani Ricotta and Mozzarella Cheese

Cooking with spaghetti squash is something I love to do this time of year when squash is abundant in farmers markets and grocery stores. I love the versatility of cooking with spaghetti squash and especially love how well it goes with authentic Italian recipes. The pairing of spaghetti squash, marinara and cheese is one of the best, in my opinion.

Cheesy Lasagna Stuffed Spaghetti Squash recipe

The key to making the best Italian dish is the cheese. Listen, you can’t go with just any cheese if you want to create real, Italian goodness. GALBANI® BRAND OF CHEESE, with it’s rich, Italian history, is Italy’s #1 cheese brand, and the perfect cheese to really bring flavor and authenticity to your Italian recipes.

Galbani Cheese

These Lasagna Stuffed Spaghetti Squash Boats were inspired by a pantry cleaning. I found a box of broken lasagna noodles, and instead of throwing them away, I decided to make a different version of lasagna. Adding the spaghetti squash gave it some extra nutritional value and also offered up a fun and tasty presentation!

    I was in Italy earlier this year and the thing I loved the most? The cheese! Seriously it was incredible. So much better than even the Italian cheeses here. I would go back in a heartbeat!
