Spaghetti Squash Pasta

In case you hadn't noticed, I'm in love with spaghetti squash! You will see a lot of recipes using it on here in the future! See my blog on the vegetable in all it's glory and how to cook it here.

This recipe takes the low carb "phony pasta" and spins it with actual pasta to create a great side. Maybe try this recipe first if you've never had it before or use it as a trial on picky kids or a picky husband.

 

1 minced shallot

1 clove garlic, minced

2 chopped scallions

1 Tbsp butter

1 Tsp olive oil

1 cup milk

1 Tbsp Italian seasoning

1/2 cup shredded cheese

1/4 cup Parmesean

1 cooked and shredded spaghetti squash

1 box of your favorite pasta

 

Recipe Adapted form Piece of Cake

In a large skillet, heat oil and saute garlic and shallot for about 5 minutes. Add butter, shredded cheese, Parmesan, seasoning, and milk. Stir constantly until mixture comes to a boil. Cook pasta in separate saucepan and drain. Empty pasta into a baking dish and toss in spaghetti squash. Pour sauce in and mix. Top with 1/8 cup of extra shredded cheese and a sprinkle of breadcrumbs if desired. Bake in a 350 degree oven until cheese bubbles (10-15 minutes).
