Ingredients

Uncooked spaghetti squash

1 large

Kosher salt

1 tsp

Garlic clove

2 clove(s)

Grated Parmigiano-Reggiano

8 Tbsp

Extra virgin olive oil

2 Tbsp

Black pepper

1 pinch(es)

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.

Serving size: 1/4 of squash and 2 tbsp cheese
