Ingredients

  • 1 spaghetti squash
  • 1 c shredded cheddar cheese plus extra to top it
  • 2 T olive oil
  • 1 chopped onion
  • 1 clove crushed garlic
  • 1/2 tsp red pepper flakes
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 2 c raw broccoli, chopped
  • 1/2 tsp thyme

Instructions

  • Cut spaghetti squash in half and scrape out seeds.
  • Place cut side down on a baking sheet and bake at 400 for 40 minutes or until a fork can poke it easily.
  • While your squash is baking, make the filling.
  • Place oil and onion in skillet and cook on low until translucent.
  • Add garlic, red pepper, salt, thyme and broccoli.
  • Stir and cook until broccoli just turns bright green. Don’t cook it until it’s tender because it will cook longer in the oven.
  • Mix in cheddar cheese.
  • Scrape the strings of squash out of the shell with a fork and place in skillet.
  • Mix all ingredients together and place them back in the squash shell.
  • Top with more cheese.
  • Bake in a 350 oven until cheese is melted, bubbly and slightly browned.
