Why This Recipe Is So Enjoyable

A great way to enjoy a healthy, low-carb alternative to traditional pasta. The natural sweetness of the squash pairs perfectly with savory toppings, making it both comforting and nutritious. It’s easy to prepare and works well for any meal of the day.

Best Cooking Tips

- Choose a squash that feels heavy for its size to ensure it is fresh and moist.
- Roast the squash cut-side down to help it cook evenly and develop a tender texture.
- Use a fork to fluff the squash strands gently before adding sauce or toppings to keep them light and separate.

Step 1

Lightly heat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease an 8x8-inch baking dish with some non-stick spray. Cut the spaghetti squash in half and sprinkle about 2 tablespoons of water into each half. Place them cut-side down in a microwave-safe dish and microwave on high for around 10 minutes, or until the squash is tender.

Step 2

Once it’s cool enough to handle, use a fork to scrape out the squash strands into a mixing bowl. Add in the Parmesan, cream, egg, garlic powder, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper, then stir everything together until well combined. Pour the mixture into your prepared baking dish and top it with shredded Cheddar.

Step 3

Pop it in the oven and bake for about 30 minutes, until the top is nice and golden and the dish is set. Let it cool a bit before serving, and enjoy!

Serving Guide

Serve this dish warm straight from the oven, topped with fresh herbs like basil or parsley for added color and flavor. It pairs well with a simple green salad or steamed vegetables for a balanced meal. You can also add a sprinkle of parmesan or a dollop of ricotta cheese to enhance the creaminess.

Leftover Storage Tips

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. To reheat, cover the dish with foil and warm it in the oven or microwave until heated through. Avoid freezing, as the texture of the squash may become mushy after thawing.
