Spaghetti Squash Bread Braid

8 ingredients
5 steps

Ingredients

  • 1 small spaghetti squash
  • 1 (13.8 ounce) can refrigerated pizza dough (such as Pillsbury(R))
  • 1 (24 ounce) jar spaghetti sauce
  • 1/2 pound cooked ground beef
  • 1 zucchini, shredded (optional)
  • 8 ounces mozzarella cheese, cubed
  • 1 egg, beaten
  • 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley, or more to taste

Directions

  1. 1
    Pierce spaghetti squash with a fork 10 times and place whole in a slow cooker. Cook on Low until very soft, about 4 hours. Halve squash and remove seeds.
  2. 2
    Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Unroll pizza dough onto a greased baking sheet.
  3. 3
    Scrape squash flesh into a bowl; mix in spaghetti sauce, ground beef, and zucchini. Spread squash mixture lengthwise down the middle of the dough. Top with cubed mozzarella cheese.
  4. 4
    Cut sides of dough into even strips starting at the outside edges and stopping at the squash mixture. Fold alternating strips over squash mixture to form a braid. Brush with beaten egg and sprinkle with parsley.
  5. 5
    Bake in the preheated oven until dough is brown and cheese is melted, about 30 minutes. Cool for 5 to 10 minutes before slicing.
