Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F. Cut the squash in half crosswise using a serrated knife. Dig out and discard the seeds with a spoon. Place into an 8-by-8-inch microwave-safe casserole dish with 2 tablespoons water. Cover the dish with plastic wrap and microwave on high until the squash is very tender and the inside can easily be flaked with a fork, 13 to 14 minutes. Use a fork to scrap the sides of the squash, separating the strands. Leave the scraped strands in the squash. Drain and dry the casserole dish.
• Meanwhile, heat the oil in a large oven-proof skillet over medium-high heat. Add the mushrooms and cook, stirring often, until they have released most of their moisture and start to brown, about 5 minutes. Add the bell pepper, scallion whites, cayenne pepper, 1 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper. Cook, stirring, until the peppers are soft, about 5 minutes. Add the half-and-half and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to medium and simmer until the liquid has reduced slightly and starts to thicken, 5 to 7 minutes.
• Fold in the chicken and 2 cups Cheddar and stir until the cheese has melted. Add the spaghetti squash strands and stir until well combined. Transfer the squash mixture to the casserole dish and sprinkle the top with the remaining Cheddar. Bake until the cheese is melted and bubbling, 17 to 20 minutes. Let rest 5 minutes. Sprinkle with the scallion greens before serving.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375˚F (190˚C).
• With a sharp knife, slice the squash in half. (If the squash is too tough - puncture in several places forming a dotted line around the squash. Microwave 3-5 minutes to soften. Allow to cool before cutting in half - following the dotted line).
• Scoop out the seeds, brush with oil, salt, and pepper, and place face down on a baking tray. Bake for 35-40 minutes or until a fork can easily pierce the skin.
• Heat olive oil in a large pan. Add chicken breasts (seasoned with salt and pepper) and garlic, and fully cook.
• Add tomatoes and spinach. Cook until spinach has wilted. Add marinara sauce.
• Stack the basil leaves and roll them up. Cut into slices and add to pan.
• Add crushed red pepper, and stir until the ingredients are fully incorporated.
• Once the squash has finished roasting, remove from the oven and let it sit for a few minutes before turning over and pulling at it with a fork. (Careful, there will be some steam!)
• Shred the inside of each squash, being careful not to poke through the skin. Pour the sauce over the shredded squash, top with fresh basil, and serve.
• Enjoy!

Steps:

• COOK THE SQUASH Preheat oven to 350°F. Cut the squash in half, lengthwise. Use a spoon to scrape the pulp out and remove the seeds. Place the squash on a baking sheet with the cut side down. Line the baking sheet with foil for easy clean-up. Bake for about 30 minutes, or until a fork easily punctured the skin and the squash seems soft. Scrape the cooked squash with a fork, to create the stringy, spaghetti squash. PREPARE THE CHICKEN: Heat the coconut oil in a skillet over medium high heat. Add the onion and garlic and cook for about 5 minutes or until soft. Stir in the mushrooms and cook for about 5 more minutes. Add the chicken, chicken broth, lemon juice, tomatoes and spinach to the pan. Stir about 5 minutes until the spinach is wilted and the chicken cooked through. Stir in the parmesan cheese To serve, place about 1/4 of the spaghetti squash on a plate and top with about 1 cup of the chicken veggie mixture.
