Ingredients

The following ingredients have 6 Servings
  • 1 medium spaghetti squash (About 5 cups of shredded squash)
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 1 cup milk (2%, skim, or whole milk)
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 2 tablespoons flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • Additional salt & pepper to taste

Instruction

  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
  • Slice the spaghetti squash in half and discard the seeds.
  • Turn it upside down (so the peel is facing up and the inside is facing down) and place it on a large plate. Add a bit of water to the plate and cover with a paper towel.
  • Microwave for 10-15 minutes, or until the inside is soft. Once it slightly softened, scoop out the strands with a fork.
  • In a large saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat.
  • Whisk in the butter and continue to cook for 30 seconds.
  • Reduce heat to low and add milk. Whisk until smooth.
  • Remove from heat and stir in shredded cheese. Whisk until melted.
  • Combine the spaghetti squash with the cheese sauce and place in a casserole dish.
  • Bake for 15-20 minutes until the cheese is bubbly.
  • Remove from oven and sprinkle with salt and pepper.
