Garlic Parmesan Spaghetti Squash with SpinachGarlic Parmesan Spaghetti Squash with Spinach — a 45-minute dinner recipe with 8 ingredients, serving 6.Ingredients

3 (142 g) pkg baby spinach

6 cloves garlic

355 ml heavy whipping cream

213 g Parmesan cheese

3 medium spaghetti squash

black pepper

extra virgin olive oil

salt

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 260°C (500°F) and place the rack in the center position. Line two baking sheets with aluminum foil to make cleanup easier (optional).

Wash and dry the fresh produce. (Skip the spinach if it came pre-washed.)

Trim off and discard the ends of the squashes; halve squashes lengthwise and scrape out the seeds from each half.

Rub the inside of the squash halves with oil and season with salt and pepper. Arrange squash halves cut-side-down on the baking sheet.

Place squash halves in the oven (it doesn't have to be fully heated) and roast until tender, so a knife can easily pierce through the flesh, about 25 minutes.

Preheat a large pot over medium heat.

Peel and mince garlic.

Once the pot is hot, add oil and swirl to coat the bottom.

Add the garlic to the pot, stir until fragrant, 1-2 minutes.

Add the spinach to the pot and season with salt and pepper; cook, stirring frequently, until the spinach has wilted, 4-5 minutes.

Grate Parmesan cheese; reserve a small amount for garnish.

Stir in the cream and Parmesan into the spinach. Cook until the Parmesan has melted and incorporated into the cream; remove from heat.

Once tender, remove squash halves from the oven; allow to cool slightly, about 5 minutes. Scrape the inside of each squash with a fork to separate into spaghetti-like strands. (Use an oven mitt or towel to hold it with your other hand). Transfer to the skillet with the sauce and toss to combine.

Divide between plates, garnish with reserved Parmesan, and enjoy!
