Ingredients
Method
Prepare the Spaghetti Squash
- Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Place the halved spaghetti squash cut-side down on a baking sheet and roast for 30-35 minutes until tender.
- Once cooked, let it cool for a few minutes, then use a fork to scrape the flesh into spaghetti-like strands.
Make the Filling
- In a skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add minced garlic and sauté for 1 minute until fragrant.
- Add sliced mushrooms and cook for 5-7 minutes until softened. Stir in chopped spinach and cook until wilted.
- In a mixing bowl, combine the sautéed vegetables with cream cheese, Parmesan cheese, salt, and pepper. Mix until well combined.
Stuff the Squash
- Fill each spaghetti squash half with the creamy spinach and mushroom mixture, pressing down gently to pack it in.
- Sprinkle additional Parmesan cheese on top of the stuffed squash.
Bake and Serve
- Return the stuffed squash to the oven and bake for an additional 10-15 minutes until heated through and the cheese is bubbly.
- Remove from the oven, let cool slightly, and serve warm.

Notes
