Ingredients

Uncooked spaghetti squash

1 medium, halved lengthwise and seeded (about 2 3/4 lb)

Kosher salt

1 tsp

Garlic clove

2 clove(s)

Grated Parmigiano-Reggiano

8 Tbsp

Extra virgin olive oil

2 Tbsp

Black pepper

1 pinch, freshly cracked (or to taste)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 400°F.
  2. Place both squash halves cut side up on a rimmed baking sheet, coat squash with a few sprays from an oil mister, and season each with 1/2 tsp of the salt. Use a Microplane-style rasp to grate 1 garlic clove over each half, then rub it into the squash.
  3. Roast the squash for 45 minutes to 1 hour, until a fork easily slips all the way through and the flesh fluffs into spaghetti-like strands.
  4. Let the squash cool for 10 minutes, then shred it with a fork. Transfer the strands to a large bowl. Add the Parmigiano and olive oil, then toss and season with additional salt and pepper to taste.
  5. Serving size: 1/4 of squash and 2 tbsp cheese
