Print Recipe

A delicious and healthy dish featuring roasted spaghetti squash filled with a creamy spinach mixture and topped with a rich Parmesan cream sauce.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 medium spaghetti squash
  • 2 cups fresh spinach
  • 1 cup ricotta cheese
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Olive oil for drizzling

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. Cut the spaghetti squash in half lengthwise and scoop out the seeds.
  3. Drizzle the inside with olive oil, and season with salt and pepper.
  4. Place the squash halves cut-side down on a baking sheet and roast for 30-40 minutes until tender.
  5. In a skillet, sauté garlic in olive oil, then add spinach and cook until wilted.
  6. In a bowl, mix the cooked spinach with ricotta and half of the Parmesan cheese.
  7. Once the squash is cooked, scrape the flesh with a fork to create spaghetti-like strands.
  8. Combine the squash strands with the spinach mixture and fill the squash halves.
  9. In a saucepan, heat heavy cream and remaining Parmesan cheese until smooth, then pour over the stuffed squash.
  10. Return to the oven and bake for an additional 10 minutes until bubbly.

Notes

  • For a lighter version, substitute ricotta with cottage cheese.
  • Feel free to add other vegetables like mushrooms or bell peppers to the filling.
  • This dish can be made ahead of time and reheated before serving.
