Cheesy Spaghetti Squash Recipe

A recipe for when those cheesy dinner cravings strike! It's the perfect way to use us spaghetti squash and it's a recipe that will even get the kids to try it.

There are a few steps to the recipe but the end result is worth every bit of effort!

The hardest part is cutting the squash - but with a very sharp chef's knife and trimmed off ends f(or a more stability) it's can be done. Or I've listed the microwave tip for softening the skin to make cutting easier.

This is the perfect recipe to make for a fall meal. And you can pair it with a roasted chicken (or slow cooker chicken) or a simple cozy soup to complete it.

Shortcut Tip:

If you'd like to simplify the recipe you can even skip the second roasting and just serve the cheesy, saucy spaghetti squash straight from the pan. If going this route:

  1. Scoop out and use up all of the spaghetti squash strings (no need to leave any intact to help the skins hold a shape).
  2. Melt the 3/4 cup of mozzarella cheese into the sauce along with the parmesan then just omit the other 1/2 cup mozzarella.
