SPAGHETTI SQUASH ALFREDO

Steps:

• To cook in the oven, preheat oven to 400 degrees. Cut the squash in half length-wise and scoop out the seeds with a spoon. Discard the seeds. Drizzle with olive oil and place face down on a baking sheet. Bake for 1 hour or until squash is fork tender.
• To cook in the Instant Pot, follow these directions.
• Once squash is cooked, shred the squash into long spaghetti-like strands by using a fork to scrape the squash widthwise.
• Melt the butter in a sauce pan over medium heat.
• Once butter has melted, add the cream, garlic, salt, and pepper and bring to a simmer.
• Turn off the heat and add the shredded Parmesan to the pan. Whisk until the cheese has melted and the sauce is smooth and creamy.
• Pour the Alfredo sauce over the squash and stir to coat.
• Spoon the squash into the empty squash halves. Sprinkle with the mozzarella. Alternately, add to a 9x9 baking dish.
• Bake at 350 degrees for 10 minutes.
• Sprinkle with parsley before serving.

SPAGHETTI SQUASH PASTA WITH GARLICKY ALFREDO SAUCE

Steps:

• SPAGHETTI SQUASH: Cook your spaghetti squash using our oven method or Instant Pot method. Once slightly cooled, fluff with a fork to make it stringy. Then measure out roughly 4 cups spaghetti squash (as the original recipe is written // alter as needed if adjusting serving size) and set aside.
• SAUCE: In the meantime, prepare sauce by soaking raw cashews in very hot water for ~15 minutes.
• After the 15 minutes are up, drain and rinse cashews and add to a small blender. Add remaining sauce ingredients (garlic, nutritional yeast, salt, and almond milk) and blend until creamy and smooth. The sauce should be thin and pourable (add more water as needed).
• Taste and adjust flavors as needed, adding more nutritional yeast for cheesiness, salt to taste, or garlic for zing. Set aside. NOTE: At this time, you could also blend in a handful of fresh basil for added flavor and gorgeous green color.
• PASTA: Heat a large pan over medium heat (non-stick* or cast iron are best as stainless steel can be sticky). Add a bit of water (or oil) to the pan and then add your spaghetti squash.
• Season with a healthy pinch of salt, Italian herbs, garlic powder, and red pepper flake (optional). And use a spatula or tongs to toss. Cook for 3-4 minutes, or until the squash is slightly browned and very hot.
• Add the sauce and stir / toss to coat the squash. Cook for an additional 1-2 minutes, or until the sauce is bubbly and slightly thickened.
• Serve immediately as is, or garnish with fresh herbs (such as parsley or basil), vegan parmesan cheese, or red pepper flake (all optional). Add a few of our Best Vegan Meatballs to make this dish even heartier!
• STORAGE: Store leftovers covered in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days (reheat in the microwave or on the stovetop until hot, adding a little dairy-free milk if it appears dry). Not freezer friendly.

SPAGHETTI SQUASH ALFREDO

Steps:

• Slice spaghetti squash in half lengthwise. Scoop out the seeds with a spoon and clean as you would a pumpkin. Completely submerge 1 half at a time, in a large pot of boiling water and cook for about 20 minutes until the inside is just tender to a fork and pulls apart in strands. (Cook's Note: It is better to undercook if you're not sure.) Remove, drain and cool with cold water or ice bath to stop the cooking.
• Scoop out the cooked squash from its skin with a spoon as you would an avocado and discard the skin. Use a fork to fluff and separate the squash into "spaghetti"- like strands. You can also use your hands. Reserve the separated cooked squash and dip with a strainer into boiling water to reheat just before serving.
• Melt half the butter in a medium saucepan over medium-high heat. Add cream and reduce for about 2 minutes, then add garlic and cheese and whisk quickly, heating through. Stir in the rest of the butter and parsley. Place spaghetti squash in a large serving bowl, and pour Alfredo sauce over squash. Garnish with basil and tomatoes. Serve and enjoy!

CHEESY SPAGHETTI SQUASH ALFREDO RECIPE - (4.5/5)

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Wash and dry the squash. Using a sharp knife, make 4 deep slits in each squash about 3/4-inch wide. Place the squash on a baking sheet; bake for 1 hour. Remove from oven and let cool for 10 minutes. Cut stems off with a large serrated knife; cut squash in half lengthwise. Carefully remove the seedy part in the center. Using a fork, separate and pull the spaghetti-like strands to the center of the squash. Preheat oven to broil. Add salt and pepper to taste, about 1/4 cup Alfredo sauce, and 1 to 2 tablespoons Parmesan cheese to each squash half, lifting to incorporate with the strands. When combined, sprinkle tops with a little more Parmesan and about 1/3 cup of the shredded mozzarella. Place squash halves on a baking sheet. Stick squash under the broiler for 3-4 minutes, until lightly browned and cheese melts (watch carefully so they don't burn). Sprinkle tops with crushed red pepper flakes and chopped parsley, if desired. Serve immediately.
