ingredients

  • 1 medium spaghetti squash
  • 1 tablespoon butter or olive oil
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 4 cloves minced garlic
  • 1 minced shallot
  • 2 tablespoons sun-dried tomatoes packed in oil
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1/3 cup grated parmesan cheese
  • 3 ounces baby spinach
  • Fresh parsley, to garnish

Method

  • Step 1

    Preheat oven to 350 F. Cut spaghetti squash in half lengthwise and scoop out seeds. Place on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and brush with olive oil; season with salt and pepper. Bake for ~45 minutes, or until the squash can be easily shredded with a fork. Remove from oven and cool.

  • Step 2

    While squash is cooling, melt butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the garlic and shallot; cook for 1-2 minutes. Mix in the sun-dried tomatoes and cook one more minute. Pour in the creamer and cook until hot and bubbly, 1-2 more minutes. Remove from heat and stir in parmesan cheese and spinach.

  • Step 3

    Once squash is cool, use a fork to scrape the insides out of the skin. Stir squash into the cream sauce and toss until everything is evenly coated.
