  • Total Time: 1 hour 5 minutes
  • Yield: Serves 4

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 ounces cream cheese
  • 3 ounces whole-milk mozzarella cheese, shredded
  • 2 ounces grated Parmesan cheese
  • 2 medium spaghetti squash
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • Chopped fresh parsley for garnish

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F. Line a baking sheet with foil or parchment paper.
  2. Halve the spaghetti squashes lengthwise and scoop out the seeds. Brush cut sides with olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Place cut-side down on the baking sheet and roast for about 40 minutes until tender.
  3. While roasting, mix softened cream cheese, mozzarella, and 1¾ ounces of Parmesan (reserve ¼ ounce for topping) in a bowl along with parsley and garlic powder.
  4. Shred the cooked squash with a fork, leaving some strands intact. Combine with the cheese mixture and fill each squash half evenly.
  5. Return to the oven for an additional 8–10 minutes until melted; then broil for 2–3 minutes until golden brown. Garnish with parsley before serving.
