  • Total Time: 1 hour 5 minutes
  • Yield: Serves 4

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 ounces cream cheese
  • 3 ounces whole-milk mozzarella cheese, shredded
  • 2 ounces grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 2 medium spaghetti squashes (about 5 pounds total)
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • Fresh parsley for garnish

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F and prepare a baking sheet lined with foil or parchment.
  2. Cut the spaghetti squashes in half lengthwise, scoop out seeds, brush with olive oil, and season with salt and pepper. Place cut-side down on the baking sheet and roast for about 40 minutes until tender.
  3. While the squash roasts, mix cream cheese, shredded mozzarella, grated Parmesan (reserve some for topping), garlic powder, and chopped parsley in a large bowl until well combined.
  4. Once the squash is done, flip halves over and shred the insides with a fork. Combine shredded squash with the cheese mixture until evenly coated.
  5. Fill each squash half with the mixture, sprinkle remaining Parmesan on top, and bake for an additional 8-10 minutes until melted. Broil for an extra 2-3 minutes until golden brown. Garnish with parsley before serving.
