Ingredients

  • 1 spaghetti squash about 2 pounds
  • 6 tablespoons butter
  • 4 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 2 tablespoon fresh chopped parsley
  • 1/4 cup shaved parmesan
  • salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 375 degrees. Spray a baking sheet with cooking spray or olive oil.
  • Wash the spaghetti squash and score the squash length-wise with a sharp knife. Microwave for 5 minutes to soften the squash to make it easier to cut. Slice the squash in half lengthwise.
  • Scrape the seeds from the center of the squash and discard (or save for roasting and eating as a snack).
  • Sprinkle the inside of the squash with salt and pepper.
  • Place on the prepared pan cut side down and bake for 30-45 minutes or until a sharp knife can be easily inserted with only a little resistance.
  • Use a fork to scrape strands of spaghetti squash. Scrape width-wise for longer strands or length-wise for short stands. Set squash aside.
  • Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add the butter to the skillet to melt.
  • Stir in the garlic and onion powder and cook for 1 minute.
  • Add the spaghetti squash to the skillet and toss to coat in the butter mixture, cooking for 2 minutes, stirring constantly.
  • Remove from the heat and sprinkle with parsley, Parmesan, and season with salt and pepper. Serve immediately.
