Cheesy Garlic Parmesan Spinach Spaghetti Squash
Cheese, garlic and parmesan, fu-get-about-it.
Ingredients
1 spaghetti squash
1/4 c butter
3 cloves garlic, minced
2 tbsp fresh basil, chopped
2 tbsp flat leaf parsley, chopped
salt and pepper
1/2 c parmesan cheese + more for serving
Instuctions
Preheat the oven to 400. Carefully cut the squash in half lengthwise. Scoop out the seeds. Place the halves cut side down in a shallow baking dish. Add a bit of water, just enough to cover the bottom of the pan. Cook squash for 30 to 45 minutes. Squash is done when you can easily pierce the side with a knife. Allow squash to cool a bit, then carefully scrape the flesh out with a fork, which will separate it into spaghetti like strands. Heat the butter in a large skillet, over medium heat. Once the butter has melted, add garlic and cook until it begins to turn golden. Remove the skillet from the heat and add the shredded spaghetti squash, basil, parsley, Parmesan cheese, salt, and pepper. Toss to with tongs to combine.
