SKINNY SPAGHETTI SQUASH ALFREDO
Some of you are probably thinking, 'what the heck is this thing?' and 'is that really spaghetti in there?' It's a spaghetti squash and nope, no pasta here. This is the squash's natural texture when baked...cool, huh? It's not only beautiful but absolutely delicious. Spaghetti squash has a slight sweetness that complements any savory flavors you stuff into it. Top each half with a pinch of red pepper flakes and chopped parsley, if desired. Serve hot.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).

- Bake in the preheated oven until tender, about 60 minutes.
- Gently scrape squash strands into the center of each half using a fork.
- Melt butter in a small saucepan over medium-low heat. Add garlic to hot butter and cook 1 to 2 minutes. Whisk in flour and cook for another minute while stirring until no lumps remain, 1 to 2 minutes more. Whisk in milk heated through. Add cream cheese and stir until smooth. Stir in Parmesan cheese, salt, and pepper.
- Spoon hot sauce equally on to each squash half. Gently pull up the squash strands to coat as much as possible with sauce. Top with extra Parmesan cheese if desired.
- Set an oven rack about 6 inches from the heat source and preheat the oven's broiler. Place squash halves under the broiler until golden and bubbly, 2 to 3 minutes.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Wash and dry the squash. Using a sharp knife, make 4 deep slits in each squash about 3/4-inch wide. Place the squash on a baking sheet; bake for 1 hour. Remove from oven and let cool for 10 minutes. Cut stems off with a large serrated knife; cut squash in half lengthwise. Carefully remove the seedy part in the center. Using a fork, separate and pull the spaghetti-like strands to the center of the squash. Preheat oven to broil. Add salt and pepper to taste, about 1/4 cup Alfredo sauce, and 1 to 2 tablespoons Parmesan cheese to each squash half, lifting to incorporate with the strands. When combined, sprinkle tops with a little more Parmesan and about 1/3 cup of the shredded mozzarella. Place squash halves on a baking sheet. Stick squash under the broiler for 3-4 minutes, until lightly browned and cheese melts (watch carefully so they don't burn). Sprinkle tops with crushed red pepper flakes and chopped parsley, if desired. Serve immediately.
SPAGHETTI SQUASH ALFREDO
Steps:
- Slice spaghetti squash in half lengthwise. Scoop out the seeds with a spoon and clean as you would a pumpkin. Completely submerge 1 half at a time, in a large pot of boiling water and cook for about 20 minutes until the inside is just tender to a fork and pulls apart in strands. (Cook's Note: It is better to undercook if you're not sure.) Remove, drain and cool with cold water or ice bath to stop the cooking.
- Scoop out the cooked squash from its skin with a spoon as you would an avocado and discard the skin. Use a fork to fluff and separate the squash into "spaghetti"- like strands. You can also use your hands. Reserve the separated cooked squash and dip with a strainer into boiling water to reheat just before serving.
- Melt half the butter in a medium saucepan over medium-high heat. Add cream and reduce for about 2 minutes, then add garlic and cheese and whisk quickly, heating through. Stir in the rest of the butter and parsley. Place spaghetti squash in a large serving bowl, and pour Alfredo sauce over squash. Garnish with basil and tomatoes. Serve and enjoy!
CHEESY SPAGHETTI SQUASH CASSEROLE
I had a recipe for a 4-cheese baked spaghetti squash that I really liked, but it was hard to eat. It was baked in the shell of the squash, and then mixed together after baking. I wanted to try it as a casserole, and after a few tries, this is what I came up with.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
- Brush the squash flesh with 1 tablespoon olive oil and sprinkle 1/8 teaspoon garlic-pepper over top; rub the edges and insides to make sure it's distributed evenly. Place on a baking sheet.
- Bake in the preheated oven until tender when pierced with a fork, 45 to 60 minutes.
- Meanwhile, heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large cast iron pan over low heat. Add mushrooms, onion, and jalapeno and cook, stirring occasionally, for 30 minutes. Add garlic and cook for about 10 more minutes. Move everything to the outside edges of the pan; add sausage, fennel seeds, salt, and pepper to the center. Cook and stir until pork is browned, crumbly, and no longer pink, about 10 minutes. Fold in the broccoli and remove from the heat.
- Remove squash from the oven and set aside to cool a bit. Leave the oven on.
- Mix chicken base, oregano, thyme, and basil together in a large bowl. Add Parmesan cheese and mix thoroughly. Add Cheddar and mozzarella and mix until well combined; it may be a little clumpy, but as long as it's only small clumps, that's okay.
- Shred squash flesh onto a sheet pan; use an oven mitt to hold it if it's still too hot. Toss with remaining garlic-pepper and season with salt and pepper if you want to. (Just remember the chicken base has a fair amount of salt in it already.)
- Spray an 11x13-inch baking dish with nonstick spray. Spread 1/2 of the shredded squash evenly over the bottom of the dish and top with 1/2 of the pork-vegetable mixture. Repeat for a second layer. Pour cream over the entire dish.
- Bake, uncovered, in the preheated oven for 30 minutes.
