Spaghetti Squash Alfredo

Spaghetti Squash Alfredo is a delightful twist on the classic Alfredo pasta. It’s a healthier, low-carb alternative that doesn’t sacrifice flavor. This creamy and cheesy dish is a favorite in our household, and I’m excited to share this recipe with you.

Ingredients

• 1 medium-sized spaghetti squash
• 2 cups heavy cream
• 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
• 4 cloves garlic, minced
• 2 tablespoons butter
• Salt and pepper to taste
• Fresh parsley for garnish

Instructions

1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
2. Cut the spaghetti squash in half lengthwise and remove the seeds.
3. Place the squash halves face down on a baking sheet and bake for 40-45 minutes, or until the flesh is tender and easily shreds into strands with a fork.
4. While the squash is baking, melt the butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for about a minute until fragrant.
5. Pour in the heavy cream and bring it to a simmer. Stir in the grated Parmesan cheese and continue to simmer until the sauce thickens, about 5-7 minutes. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
6. Once the spaghetti squash is done, remove it from the oven and let it cool slightly. Use a fork to scrape the flesh into spaghetti-like strands.
7. Combine the squash strands with the Alfredo sauce, ensuring they are well coated.
8. Serve hot, garnished with fresh parsley and extra Parmesan cheese if desired.
