Description
This simple spaghetti squash recipe is the perfect comfort meal with little to no effort.
Ingredients
- Spaghetti Squash (3-4 pounds)
- Olive oil (2 tablespoons)
- Onion, diced (1 half)
- Garlic, diced (1 clove)
- Butter, salted or unsalted (2 tablespoons)
- Parsley, dried or fresh (1 teaspoon)
- Salt (1/2 teaspoon)
- Parmesan cheese (as desired)
Instructions
- Prepare: Preheat the oven to 350° F or 177° C. Prepare a baking sheet with tin foil and spray it with oil.
- Bake: Place the whole spaghetti squash on the baking sheet and bake for 45 minutes to 1 hour.
- Saute: Once the spaghetti squash is fully baked, add olive oil and onions to a frying pan on medium heat. Let the onions sweat for about 5 minutes. Add the minced garlic and cook for 1 minute or until fragrant. While the onions and garlic are cooking, slice the spaghetti squash longways. Scrape the strands from the squash (the “spaghetti”) into a bowl using a fork, and set aside. Add the butter to the pan. Once melted, add the spaghetti squash strands into the pan and slowly mix, coating the strands in the buttery mixture.
- Combine: Add and mix the parsley and salt to the mixture.
- Garnish: Top with parmesan cheese and additional parsley, as desired.
