Four Cheese Garlic Spaghetti Squash
Makes 4 servings. Per Serving: ¼ Leaner | 2 Greens | 1 Healthy Fat | 2 Condiments
Ingredients
- 5 cups spaghetti squash (10 greens)
- 4 garlic cloves, minced (4 condiments)
- 1/2 cup water
- 1 chicken bouillon cube (1 condiment)
- ¾ cup half and half (3 healthy fats)
- 1 cup of low-fat (1 ½ grams fat/oz.) Four-Cheese Italian White Cheese Blend (1 lean)
- 1 tsp dried thyme (1 condiment)
- ½ tsp fresh ground pepper (1 condiment)
- 1 tbsp Parsley, ground (1 condiment)
Directions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F(200°C). Grab your spaghetti squash firmly and chop off the tip and tail. Cut in half length-wise and scoop out the innards and seeds. Place both halves on a baking sheet, maintained by a small foil ring to ensure stability.
- In a large bowl, combine minced garlic, heavy cream with 1/2 cup water, crumbled bouillon cube, chives, and fresh thyme. Mix well.
- Sprinkle a first layer of grated cheese in the cavities of each squash halves. Divide the cream mixture on top of cheese in each halves, then top with additional cheese.
- Roast in the oven for 40 to 50 minutes, or until the flesh of the spaghetti squash is very tender when poked with a fork. Remove from oven and serve immediately
