CHEESE SPAGHETTI BAKE RECIPES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375ºF.
• Cut the squash in half lengthwise; remove and discard seeds. Place squash on a baking sheet cut side down. Bake until tender, about 1 hour.
• Separate the strands of squash with a fork and place in a medium bowl; discard shells. Squeeze out any excess liquid from the squash if watery.
• Maintain the oven temperature.
• Heat butter and oil in a large saucepan over medium heat. Add onions and cook about 2 minutes.
• Stir in flour. Reduce heat to low and cook, stirring continually 3 - 4 minutes.
• Add milk and chicken broth and continue whisking, raising heat to medium-high until it comes to a boil and becomes smooth and thick, about 2 minutes stirring; season with salt and pepper.
• Once it becomes thick, remove from heat, add cheddar cheese and mix well until cheese is melted.
• Adjust salt and pepper to taste, add cooked spaghetti squash and baby spinach, pour into a baking dish and sprinkle parmesan cheese on top.
• Bake until bubbly and golden 25 to 30 minutes.

Steps:

• Cut squash in half lengthwise; scoop out seeds. Place with cut side down in a baking dish; add water. Cover and bake at 375° for 20-30 minutes or until it is easily pierced with a fork.

Bake, uncovered, at 350° for 25 minutes. Sprinkle with the cheese and parsley; let stand a few minutes.
