Diet Recipe for Vegetarian Spaghetti Squash Lasagna

This low-carbohydrate riff on classic lasagna layers, mushrooms and tomato sauce with spaghetti squash noodles instead of lasagna pasta. The spaghetti squash and mozzarella cheese are lip-smacking. You can serve this dish with green salad for a healthy dinner.

  • ¼ cup water
  • 1 medium onion, chopped
  • 2 cups crushed tomatoes
  • 10 ounces mushrooms, sliced
