Gluten Free Lasagne Spaghetti Squash

In the spirit of staying healthy this fall season, I have taken one of my favorite recipes and transformed into a healthy weeknight meal. Gluten free lasagna spaghetti squash is a perfect transition into fall. It provides the cozy childhood feeling but still proves to be light on the waistline.  This meal is filled with childhood memories of my mom preparing lasagna without all the calories. Welcome fall, a time of change and moving forward. I hope this dish slides onto your fall meal list.
