Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 medium spaghetti squash
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 small onion, diced
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 8 ounces mushrooms, sliced
  • 4 cups fresh spinach
  • 1/2 cup cream cheese, softened
  • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Halve the spaghetti squash lengthwise and scoop out the seeds. Drizzle with olive oil and season with salt and pepper.
  2. Roast the squash cut-side down on a baking sheet for about 30-35 minutes until fork-tender.
  3. Meanwhile, heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Sauté diced onion until translucent, then add garlic and cook until fragrant. Add mushrooms until golden brown, followed by spinach until wilted.
  4. In a bowl, mix softened cream cheese with grated Parmesan and seasonings. Combine this mixture with the sautéed vegetables.
  5. Once the squash is done roasting, use a fork to scrape out its flesh into strands. Mix these strands with the creamy filling.
  6. Spoon back into the squash halves and top with shredded mozzarella. Return to the oven for an additional 10 minutes until cheese is melted and bubbly.
  7. Let cool slightly before serving warm.
