Persons

Ingredients
- 1 spaghetti squash
- 1 head garlic, roasted
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 1/2 to 1 ounce hard cheese (asiago, parmesan)
- Spices to taste
Instructions
- Using a corn cob holder, poke a row of 6 holes across the squash. Microwave for 2 minutes.
- Using a small sharp knife, carefully pierce the steam holes to make larger steam vents for the rest of the cooking process.
- Microwave 3-6 more minutes until the skin has a slight give. Do not overcook.
- Using a paper towel and sharp knife, cut the squash in half and scoop out the seeds.
- With a fork, scoop the strands away from the wall of the squash to make "spaghetti."
- Drizzle 1-2 tbsp olive oil over the top and toss to coat.
- Add one bulb of roasted garlic (see video for link) and spices; toss.
- Shave your favorite hard cheese over the top. Can be served as a main dish or side.

Thanks, Rebecca!
Pinned because it sounds delicious! My family loves for me to toss our spaghetti squash with shredded chicken, sautéed onions and feta cheese…it’s just such a tasty vegetable, isn’t it?
Visiting via Inspire Me Monday 🙂
It sure is! So many ways to make it your own!
I have yet to cook spaghetti squash but this recipe looks like a great place to start! I love how easy it is, and we love garlic too. Thank you for sharing, and for being a part of the Hearth and Soul Link Party. I hope you are having a good week!
I have to say the microwave trick really works well especially if roasting for a long time isn’t on the agenda. It’s a nice, light dish for the summer!
This sounds great. I love pasta alternatives. Thanks for sharing with the #DreamTeam
Thanks so much, Kirsty!

Thanks Helen!
