Description

This cozy Garlic Parmesan Spaghetti Squash Bake blends golden spaghetti squash and spinach into a cheesy, healthy comfort meal perfect for clean eating goals.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 medium spaghetti squash (about 2 1/2 to 3 lbs)
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 4 cups fresh spinach, roughly chopped
  • 4 garlic cloves, minced
  • 3/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1/2 cup plain 2% Greek yogurt or ricotta cheese
  • salt and pepper to taste
  • pinch of red pepper flakes (optional)

  • Instructions

    1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Slice squash in half lengthwise, remove seeds, brush flesh with olive oil, season with salt and pepper, and place cut-side down on a baking sheet. Roast for 35–40 minutes until tender.

    2. Allow squash to cool slightly, then use a fork to scrape out strands into a large mixing bowl.

    3. In a skillet over medium heat, warm 1 tablespoon olive oil, add minced garlic and sauté for 1 minute until fragrant, then add spinach and cook until just wilted.

    4. Stir the garlic-spinach mixture into the squash strands. Add Greek yogurt or ricotta, grated Parmesan, half of the shredded mozzarella, and red pepper flakes. Mix until evenly coated.

    5. Grease a casserole dish and transfer the mixture evenly. Sprinkle the remaining mozzarella and a little extra Parmesan on top. Bake at 375°F (190°C) for 20–25 minutes until bubbly and golden.

    6. Remove from oven and let rest for 5–10 minutes before serving.
