Ingredients
- Spritz with cooking spray
- A quarter cup of water
- One spaghetti squash, cut in half lengthwise and deseeded
- One-third cup of Parmesan cheese
- One-fourth cup of heavy cream
- One beaten egg
- One teaspoon of garlic powder
- One teaspoon of Italian seasoning
- Half a teaspoon of salt
- Half a teaspoon of ground black pepper
- Half a cup of shredded Cheddar cheese
Step 1
Get the oven going by preheating it to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) for that perfect cooking temperature. Give an 8x8-inch baking dish a light spritz of non-stick cooking spray to prevent sticking.
Step 2
To prepare the squash, start by sprinkling 2 tablespoons of water into each half. Place the squash halves cut side down in a microwave-safe dish. Pop them in the microwave on high until they become soft and tender, which typically takes around 10 minutes.
Step 3
Once the squash is done, use a fork to scrape out those delightful squash strings and transfer them to a mixing bowl. Now comes the fun part - add in Parmesan cheese, cream, an egg, garlic powder, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Mix everything together until well combined. Pour this delicious mixture into the prepared baking dish and top it off with a generous sprinkle of shredded Cheddar cheese.
Step 4
Let the magic happen in the preheated oven for approximately 30 minutes or until the dish turns beautifully browned and fully set. Enjoy the delightful aroma wafting through your kitchen as you eagerly anticipate a scrumptious meal!
Extra Tips & Suggestions

- 2. Once cooked, store your baked spaghetti squash in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days. This will help preserve its delicious taste and texture.
