Instructions

1

Step 1

Start by heating your oven to 350°F. Give an 8x8-inch baking dish a light spray with some non-stick cooking spray to prevent sticking. Cut the spaghetti squash in half and sprinkle a couple tablespoons of water inside each half. Pop them cut side down into a microwave-safe dish and microwave on high for about 10 minutes, or until the squash is tender.

Step 2

Once it’s cool enough to handle, use a fork to scrape out the squash strands into a mixing bowl. Add in the Parmesan, cream, egg, garlic powder, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper, then mix everything together well. Pour this mixture into your prepared baking dish and sprinkle the shredded Cheddar cheese evenly on top.

Step 3

Bake it in the oven for around 30 minutes, until the cheese is golden and the bake is set. Let it cool a little before serving, and enjoy!
