I’m not sure how this idea popped into my head. I had leftover spaghetti squash. I had some Portobello mushrooms. So I decided to put the 2 together for a quick lunch.
The result was super tasty, but the texture combo of the mushroom and squash was what I really liked. It was meaty and filling yet extraordinarily light.
Here’s what I did…
- 2 Large Portobello Mushroom Caps
- 1 Cup Cooked Spaghetti Squash
- 1/2 cup Homemade Sauce (Jared PIzza Sauce would work or even salsa)
- 1 oz Fancy Shredded Cheese
- Pinch of Dried Basil
Preheat the oven to 425 degrees.
Line a cookie sheet with aluminum foil.
Wipe the mushroom caps clean and remove the stems.
Place the caps upside the cookie sheet.
Top each with the cut squash,
half the sauce,
and half the cheese.
Sprinkle on a little basil and cook for about 10 minutes until the cheese melts and the mushroom softens.
Grab a knife and fork and dig in!

This looks delicious, even as I am reading it at 7am. I am going to make it this weekend!! I am really trying to avoid the bad habits that always creep up durint the holiday season..I start to let my meal planning slide while I get ready for other things…and then it is too easy to grab snacks and other things. Thanks for the great idea~yum!
one more thought…I am SHOCKED you did not put a few fresh spinach leaves in it…lol. I think I just might, see how you have me thinking of always adding an extra chance to sneak in veggies??
Great idea!! I just bought a spaghetti squash yesterday…woohoo!! :-)
Wow! Such an awesome idea!! I sautéed some onion/kale/and the chopped mushroom stems am mixed em in with the spaghetti squash! So yum! And so healthy!!!!! Thanks for this recipe!!!!!!
I’m just curious how it’s 6 WW points? I mean the spaghetti sqaush is at most 1, the shroom 0 and just count the cheese and sauce?
Looks REALLY good! Gonna try your Kale chips soon too!
Happy Thanksgiving!
Must be the cheese and sauce to come up witih the 6 WW points. But it’s still a bargain! If you ate two of them that’s close to half the day’s points (which I try to do at lunch). Can’t wait to try it!! Thanks.
I hear you Michelle but plug it into the recipe builder. I have to base everything on Nutritional Information. You could just count the oz of cheese and pad with 1 for the sauce. Your choice.
So good! I made this, but I cooked the mushrooms alone for awhile to draw out the moisture– otherwise, I find it to be a little too wet for my liking.
Great site!
Delicious! Made them tonight. I like the idea of cooking the portabellas a little first. Added chopped avacado and pesto. Maybe not so skinny but my hubby and I loved them. Next time I will cook them on a rack on the cookie sheet. A keeper!
Will make this soon maybe next Wednesday
