Recipe

Try this super simple spaghetti squash Alfredo this week!

Cheesy Spaghetti Squash Casserole (Serves 4)

Ingredients:
– 2 spaghetti squash
– 1 jar (10-15 oz) Light Alfredo Sauce (or try MOMables Homemade Alfredo Sauce)
– 1 and 1/3 cups of shredded mozzarella cheese
– salt and pepper to taste.

Directions:
1. Place squash on a rimmed baking sheet. Make 2-3 vents in the squash by poking deep slits with a sharp knife. Bake in oven for 60-65 minutes at 350 degrees. Remove from oven and let rest for 10-15 minutes.
2. Cut squash in half, length wise, and scoop out seeds.
3. With a fork, shred the inside of the squash, forming your “spaghetti noodles”. Season with a little salt and pepper.
4. Now add in 1/4 cup of Alfredo sauce to each squash half. Mix well until all your squash noodles are covered. Top with 1/3 cup of shredded cheese.
5. Place squash under the broiler for 2-3 minutes until bubbly and melted.
