Ingredients Method

Ingredients
  

  • 1 medium spaghetti squash about 3 pounds
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil divided
  • 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 4 cloves garlic minced
  • 3/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 2 tablespoons fresh parsley chopped
  • Salt and black pepper to taste

Method
 

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Cut the spaghetti squash in half lengthwise, scoop out the seeds, and brush the cut sides with 2 tablespoons of olive oil, then season with salt and pepper.
  3. Place the squash cut-side down on the baking sheet and roast for 35-40 minutes until tender and easily pierced with a fork.
  4. Let the squash cool for 5 minutes, then use a fork to scrape out the spaghetti-like strands into a large bowl.
  5. In a large skillet, heat the remaining olive oil and butter over medium heat, add the garlic and cook for 1 minute until fragrant.
  6. Add the spaghetti squash strands to the skillet and toss to coat with the garlic butter, cooking for 2-3 minutes.
  7. Remove from heat, stir in the Parmesan cheese and fresh parsley, season with additional salt and pepper if needed, and serve immediately.
