Kim, just wanted to say... YOU POOR GIRL! :(

That would be driving me up the wall, to have to type all kinds of crap in order for the words not to run together -- get that thing fixed already! ;)

BTW, where is that squash casserole from?

Spaghetti Squash

Recipe By :
Serving Size : 6 Preparation Time :0:00
Categories : Main Dishes

Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method
-------- ------------ --------------------------------
1 8" spaghetti squash
1 c. chopped onion
2 med. cloves crushed garlic
2 med. sized fresh tomatoes
1/2 lb fresh -- sliced mushrooms
1/2 tsp oregano
salt & pepper to taste
1 c. cottage or ricotta cheese
1 cup grated mozzarella
1/4 c. fresh chopped parsley
1 tsp. basil
1 dash thyme
1 cup fine bread crumbs (preferably fresh)
butter or olive oil for saute
fresh grated parmesan for top

Preheat oven to 375

Slice squash in half lengthwise and scoope out seeds. Bake it, face-down,
on a cookie sheet sprayed with non-stick spray for about 30 minutes or
until easily pierced by a fork. Cook until handleable. Scoop out insides
into large bowl.

While squash bakes, saute onions, garlic, salt, pepper, mushrooms,
parsley, basil & thyme in butter or olive oil. When onions are soft, add
tomatoes. Cook until most of the liquid evaporates. (Or, if you don't want
to wait that long, just pour the veggies through a sieve to remove excess
liquid before you combine them with the rest of the ingredients.)

Combine all ingredients except parmesan. Pour into 2 quart casserole (you
may need a larger one!) that has been sprayed with cooking spray. Top with
parmesan (again, use whatever suits your diet!!). Bake for 40 minutes,
uncovered.
