Easy Cheesy Spaghetti Squash

5 ingredients
10 steps

Ingredients

  • 1 spaghetti squash
  • 1/4 cup lowfat parmesan cheese (just the shaker kind is fine)
  • 1/2 cup mozzarella cheese, grated (you can substitute for cheddar, farmer's, colby etc.... any kind of cheese you want!)
  • 1/3 cup fresh parsley, chopped (1/8 cup if using the dried stuff)
  • 1 cup salsa (mild, hot, whatever. I have even substituted this with spaghetti sauce!)

Directions

  1. 1
    Cut squash in half lengthwise.
  2. 2
    Remove and discard seeds (or keep them to plant for next year).
  3. 3
    Steam squash, cut side up for 10-15 minutes, or until softened.
  4. 4
    Pre heat oven to 400 degrees F.
  5. 5
    Remove squash from steamer and place on a baking sheet.
  6. 6
    With a fork, scrape the insides of the squash to form the spaghetti strands. (This will be very easy if your squash is cooked enough).
  7. 7
    Top each squash half with the remaining ingredients ending with the mozzarella (or whatever type you used) cheese on top to melt.
  8. 8
    Bake for 10-15 minutes or until cheese is all melted.
  9. 9
    Remove from oven and give it another quick stir to mix the cheese into the rest of the filling.
  10. 10
    *There is no need to remove the insides for serving. We just eat the squash right out of the shell!
