Spaghetti squash alla norma is the perfect transition from summer to fall — and because it’s baked on a sheet pan, it’s got crispy edges and a cheesy, golden-brown top 💁♀️ Inspired by @giadzy!

By now, you probably know how much I love to take a classic pasta dish and put two simple spins on it. The first is swapping the noodles for spaghetti squash. Not because I don’t love pasta, but because I honestly just really love spaghetti squash. And the second is assembling and baking the dish on a sheetpan. Not only does this result in crispy edges and a bubbly cheesy top. It also dirties fewer dishes since we’re already using the pans to roast the veggies. I always use my Great Jo sheet pans, which make clean up even easier because they’re non-stick. For this recipe, I took inspiration from Giata’s sheep pan pasta alanora, which is a Sicilian pasta dish made with eggplant. Just like Giata, I opted to roast the eggplant instead of frying it, and I sprinkled the whole thing with mozzarella and parmesan cheeses instead of ricotta salada. So, while my version undoubtedly strays from the classic dish, the combination of crispy eggplant, basil flex tomato sauce, and salty cheese remains the same.
