Ingredients
  

Spaghetti Squash
  • 1 medium spaghetti squash
Filling
  • 2 cups fresh spinach chopped
  • 1 cup ricotta cheese
  • 1 cup mozzarella cheese shredded
  • 1/4 cup Parmesan cheese grated
  • 1 clove garlic minced
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil

Method
 

Prepare the Spaghetti Squash
  1. Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Cut the spaghetti squash in half lengthwise and scoop out the seeds.
  2. Drizzle the inside of each half with olive oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper.
  3. Place the squash halves cut-side down on a baking sheet and roast for 30-35 minutes, or until tender.
Make the Filling
  1. In a mixing bowl, combine the chopped spinach, ricotta cheese, mozzarella cheese, Parmesan cheese, minced garlic, salt, and pepper. Mix until well combined.
Stuff the Squash
  1. Once the squash is cooked, use a fork to scrape the flesh into spaghetti-like strands.
  2. Mix the spaghetti strands with the spinach filling until well combined.
  3. Spoon the filling back into the squash halves.
Bake the Stuffed Squash
  1. Return the stuffed squash to the oven and bake for an additional 10-15 minutes, until the filling is heated through and slightly golden.
  2. Remove from the oven and let cool for a few minutes before serving.
