1
Preheat the oven to 375°F. Cut the spaghetti squash in half lengthwise and scoop out the seeds.
2
Lay the spaghetti squash halves face down on a parchment-lined baking sheet, and drizzle over with olive oil, black pepper, and salt. Add 1/4 cup water to the tray and bake for approximately 30 minutes until they are fork tender.
3
When the squash is cool enough to handle, scrape out the 'spaghetti' strands using a fork and place them into a medium mixing bowl.
4
Add the shredded chicken, marinara sauce, beaten egg, Italian seasoning, red pepper flakes, garlic powder and salt to the bowl with the spaghetti squash strands. Mix well until all the ingredients are combined.
5
Transfer the squash and chicken mixture into a greased baking dish. Spread a layer of chopped spinach on top of the mixture.
6
Sprinkle grated parmesan cheese evenly over the spinach layer.
7
Bake this in the preheated oven at 375°F for about 10 minutes. Then switch to broil and broil for 3 to 5 minutes, or until the cheese begins to bubble and turns golden brown.
8
Once cooked, remove from the oven and let it stand for a few minutes before serving. Divide this delightful Tuscan-flavored spaghetti squash casserole into four equal servings and enjoy!
