Ingredients
Scale
- 1 medium spaghetti squash
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 tbsp unsalted butter
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1/2 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
- 1/2 cup shredded fresh mozzarella cheese
- 1/2 cup ricotta cheese
- 2 oz cream cheese, softened
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Fresh parsley, chopped (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Cut spaghetti squash in half lengthwise and scoop out seeds.
- Drizzle olive oil on cut sides of squash, season with salt and pepper, and place cut-side down on a baking sheet. Roast for 30-40 minutes until tender.
- In a saucepan over medium heat, melt butter. Add minced garlic and sauté until fragrant, about one minute.
- Pour in heavy cream while stirring continuously; gradually add Parmesan, mozzarella, ricotta, and cream cheese to create a smooth alfredo sauce.
- Once the squash is cool enough to handle, use a fork to scrape out the strands into a mixing bowl. Combine with alfredo sauce until well coated.
- Spoon mixture back into squash halves and sprinkle extra mozzarella on top if desired. Return to oven for an additional 10-15 minutes until bubbly and golden brown.
