A comforting and nutritious alternative to traditional pasta, featuring roasted spaghetti squash, fresh spinach, and melted cheese.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 medium spaghetti squash
  • 2 cups fresh spinach
  • 1 cup shredded cheese (mozzarella, Parmesan, or your choice)
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Red pepper flakes (optional, for spice)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Cut the spaghetti squash in half lengthwise and scoop out the seeds. Drizzle with olive oil, season with salt and pepper, and place cut side down on a baking sheet. Roast for 30-40 minutes until tender.
  2. Heat olive oil in a pan over medium heat. Add minced garlic and sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant, then add the fresh spinach. Cook until wilted.
  3. Scrape the flesh of the cooked squash with a fork to create spaghetti-like strands.
  4. Combine the roasted spaghetti squash, sautéed spinach with garlic, shredded cheese, and optional red pepper flakes in a large bowl. Mix well.
  5. Serve warm, garnished with additional cheese if desired.

Notes

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in the microwave or oven.
