CHEESY HASH BROWN SPAGHETTI SQUASH

Steps:

• Wash and cut your spaghetti squash in half lengthwise. Remove the seeds with a spoon.
• Place it in your microwave, cut side up, and cook for 10-12 minutes...until softened. Or bake at 425 degrees, cut side up, for 45-50 minutes
• Remove and let cool for about 10 minutes.
• Once the squash has cooled enough to handle, scrape the insides into a large bowl.
• If you weren't using your oven, preheat it to 400 degrees.
• In a cast iron skillet, add butter and olive oil then add shallots. Cook over medium heat until beginning to soften, about 3 minutes. Add garlic and saute for about 30 seconds.
• To the skillet, add squash, sour cream, and half the cheese. Season with salt & pepper. Mix to combine everything and beginning to heat through.
• Remove from heat, cover with the rest of the cheese and then place into the oven.
• Bake until bubbly; about 15-18 minutes.
• Carefully remove from oven and then season with red pepper flakes if using.
• Allow to set for about 5 minutes, then serve!

LOW CARB LOW FAT SPAGHETTI SQUASH MOCK HASH BROWN CASSEROLE AKA

Steps:

• Wash the spaghetti squash. Pierce the rind 4-5 times with a sharp knife. Place in oven-proof pan. Bake in preheated 375 degree oven until soft, 1 - 1 1/2 hours. Remove from oven and reduce heat to 350 degrees. (Alternatively, place pierced squash on paper-towel lined plate and microwave 10-12 minutes.).
• When the squash is cool enough to handle, slice lengthwise. Scoop out seeds and discard. Fork the squash into strands and place in buttered casserole dish.
• While squash is baking, mix together soup, sour cream, chopped onion, garlic, and 1/4 cup of cheese.
• When strands of squash have been placed into casserole dish, toss with melted butter and sprinkle with salt and pepper to taste (I use almost no salt as the cheese tends to be salty enough).
• Pour soup mixture over squash and stir well. Top with remaining cheese.
• Bake at 350 degrees for 30 minutes or until cheese is browned.
