Healthy and Hearty Spaghetti Squash with Spinach

Ingredients

Scale

 

  • 1 large spaghetti squash
  • 2 cups fresh spinach, chopped
  • 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • ½ cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • ¼ cup chopped fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)

 

Instructions

 

  1. Preheat Oven:
    Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Cut the spaghetti squash in half lengthwise and scoop out the seeds.
  2. Roast the Squash:
    Brush the cut sides of the squash with olive oil, season with salt and pepper, and place them cut-side down on a baking sheet. Roast for 40-45 minutes, or until tender. Let cool slightly before using a fork to scrape out the flesh into “noodles.”
  3. Sauté the Spinach and Garlic:
    Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add minced garlic and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute. Add chopped spinach and cook until wilted.
  4. Combine Ingredients:
    Add the spaghetti squash noodles to the skillet with the spinach and garlic. Toss to coat.
  5. Add Cheese:
    Stir in the Parmesan and mozzarella cheese until melted and creamy.
  6. Serve:
    Garnish with fresh parsley, if desired, and serve immediately.
