Ingredients
- 5 cups cooked spaghetti squash, *see note below
- 3/4 cup diced onion
- 4 garlic cloves, chopped
- 2 cups shredded chicken (or turkey)
- 2 cups frozen peas and carrots
- 10 ounces button mushrooms, sliced
- 4 tablespoons of butter
- 4 tablespoons of flour
- 2 cups whole milk
- 1 teaspoon salt
- Fresh black pepper to taste
- 1 teaspoon poultry seasoning
- 1 teaspoon fresh rosemary, chopped
- 1/2 cup grated parmesan cheese, divided
- 1/4 Panko breadcrumbs
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees.
- Melt the butter in a large skillet over medium-low heat.
- Add the onions, stirring into the butter and cook until the onions have completely softened, about 10 minutes.

- Pour the filling into a large bowl along with the cooked spaghetti squash. Stir gently to combine the filling, then pour into a 9″ x 13″ baking dish that’s been buttered or sprayed with cooking spray.
- Top the casserole with the remaining parmesan cheese and breadcrumbs then bake for 30 minutes.
- To brown the topping even more, place the casserole under the broiler for 3-4 minutes.
