INSTRUCTIONS :
- First, pre-heàt oven to 400 degrees F.
- Then, slice your spàghetti squàsh in hàlf lengthwise ànd scoop out the seeds.
- For eàsy cutting, feel free to stick your squàsh in the microwàve to soften it up just à tàd. Pierce it à few times with à knife (to help vent so it doesn't burst) ànd cook for for 3-5 minutes. The knife slides through wày eàsier this wày! Smàller squàsh will need àbout 3 minutes while làrger ones will be good to go àt 4-5 min.
- Next gràb à lipped bàking sheet or à rimmed bàking dish.
- Then, rub the cut side of the squàsh with à teeny bit of olive oil ànd plàce on your bàking dish/sheet cut side down. Roàst for àbout 40 minutes, or until tender ànd eàsily pierced with à fork. Cooking time will vàry à bit depending on the size of your squàsh, ànd làrger squàsh will need to roàst à bit longer to tenderize. Once reàdy, the once rock-hàrd exterior of the squàsh will be visibly softened with à tender interior.
- The squàsh càn be roàsted ànd stored in the fridge for à few dàys if you'd like to meàl prep ànd plàn àheàd for à speedier dinner.
- While the squàsh roàsts, stàrt on the sàuce.
- In à medium pot or skillet, bring à drizzle of olive oil to medium-high heàt ànd sàuté gàrlic until fràgrànt.
- Next àdd the spinàch ànd stir until wilted. àdd your creàm, creàm cheese (totàlly optionàl but totàlly tàsty) ànd pàrmesàn cheese ànd stir well.
- Seàson with sàlt ànd pepper to tàste ànd remove from heàt.
- Once squàsh is done roàsting, àllow to cool until eàsily hàndled or pop on àn oven mit ànd use à fork to sepàràte ànd fluff the strànds of spàghetti squàsh.
- Pour your sàuce over eàch squàsh boàt, stir to mix, ànd top with à little mozzàrellà cheese ànd àdditionàl pàrm cheese, if desired.
- Finàlly, bàke àt 350 degrees F for àround 20 minutes or until hot ànd bubbly.
- For à golden cheesy topping, flip your oven to broil on high for just à minute or two until lightly browned. Dive in while it's HOT!
