Tonight I wanted ricotta cheese like it was nobody’s business!
Someone at work today was eating lasagna leftovers for lunch, which prompted my craving around 11:30 a.m.! After waiting hours, I finally gave into my desire for the cheesy goodness.
Since I didn’t have any noodles on hand and was feeling way to lazy to make homemade lasagna, I settled for a big bowl of spaghetti squash, topped with ricotta, Parmesan cheese, marinara sauce, roasted broccoli and roasted squash.
I prepared my dinner by first baking the squash and forking out the “noodles.”

Ready for Toppings
I added a ton of steamed broccoli on top of the squash before going crazy with the two cheeses.

Dinner
Stirred Up
I satisfied my cheesy craving and got lot o’ veggies in there, too. Win, win situation.
Dessert
I decided to do some post-dinner baking tonight and made a batch of my sugar-free coconut meringues.

These are so good and pack a little protein punch.
On that note, I think I’m gonna go grab some more… 😉

Your meal and your dessert look amazing! I love spaghetti squash, its such a fab quick pasta substitute!
I never think to buy ricotta but it really is so good! I love how it can be sweet and savory.
