01
Step 1
Start by heating your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly spray an 8x8-inch baking dish with some non-stick cooking spray. Cut the spaghetti squash in half and sprinkle about 2 tablespoons of water into each half. Place the squash cut side down in a microwave-safe dish and microwave on high for around 10 minutes, or until it feels soft when poked.

Step 2
Once it’s cool enough to handle, use a fork to scrape out the strands of squash into a mixing bowl. Add 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 on top. Pop it in the oven and bake until it’s golden and set, which should take about 30 minutes. Enjoy!
Why you’ll love it
This dish is a great way to enjoy a low-carb alternative to traditional pasta. It’s full of flavor, easy to prepare, and naturally gluten-free. Plus, the roasting brings out a subtle sweetness in the squash that pairs well with savory seasonings.
How to serve
Serve with a sprinkle of Parmesan cheese or fresh herbs like basil or parsley. It makes a great side dish for grilled chicken or fish, or enjoy it as a light vegetarian main with a simple tomato sauce.
Storage & leftovers
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently in the oven or microwave to keep the squash from becoming too mushy. You can also freeze cooked squash strands for up to 2 months.
