Ingredients

  • 1 Tbsp olive oil
  • 1 medium spaghetti squash
  • 1 Tbsp salted butter
  • 2-3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 1/2 Tbsp all-purpose flour
  • 1 Tbsp cream cheese
  • 1 1/2 cups milk
  • 3/4 cup Parmesan, grated (plus more for topping)
  • 1/4 tsp salt

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 350˚F. Cut the spaghetti squash in half and scoop out the seeds. Brush both sides with olive oil and place cut side down on baking sheet.
  • Bake until tender, around 1 hour.
  • Once cooked, use a fork to scrape out the "spaghetti" strands into the centre.
  • In a small saucepan, melt the butter. Add in the garlic and cook for 1-2 minutes. Whisk in the flour for around 1 minute. Stir in the cream cheese. Whisk in the milk. Allow to simmer until thickened.
  • Remove from heat and mix in Parmesan until melted.
  • Divide the sauce into each spaghetti squash, and stir to combine. Sprinkle with additional Parmesan, and broil for 1-2 minutes. Serve immediately.
