Ingredients

5 1/2 cups cooked spaghetti squash (from about 2 small see directions below:)
1 tbsp butter
1 tbsp olive oil
1/4 cup minced onion
1/4 cup flour (use ap gluten-free flour for GF)
2 cups skim milk
1 cup fat free chicken broth (vegetable broth for vegetarian)
2 cups 8 oz Sargento 2% reduced fat mild cheddar

Steps:

Preheat the oven to 375ºF.
