Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 medium spaghetti squash
  • 2 ounces cream cheese
  • 3 ounces shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 2 ounces grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 3/4 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley leaves
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 400°F. Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil or parchment paper.
  2. Cut spaghetti squash in half lengthwise, scoop out seeds, brush with olive oil, and season with salt and pepper. Place cut-side down on the baking sheet and roast for about 40 minutes until tender.
  3. In a mixing bowl, combine softened cream cheese, shredded mozzarella, grated Parmesan (reserve some for topping), chopped parsley, and garlic powder.
  4. Once roasted, flip the squash halves over and shred the insides with a fork. Combine shredded squash with the cheese mixture, then fill each half and top with reserved Parmesan.
  5. Bake for an additional 8-10 minutes until melted, then broil for 2-3 minutes until bubbly.
