CHEESY GARLIC PARMESAN SPINACH SPAGHETTI SQUASH

INGREDIENTS:

• 1 medium spaghetti squash (approx. 2-3lbs)
• 2.5 TBSP minced garlic
• 1 tsp avocado oil or olive oil
• 5 oz fresh spinach chopped
• 1/2 cup heavy cream
• 1 TBSP cream cheese (optional but delicious!)
• 1/2 cup freshly grated parmesan cheese plus extra for topping
• salt and pepper to taste
• grated or sliced mozzarella for topping to taste

INSTRUCTIONS:

1. Pre-heat oven to 400 degrees F.
2. Slice your spaghetti squash in half lengthwise and scoop out the seeds.
3. For easy cutting, feel free to stick your squash in the microwave to soften it up just a tad. Pierce it a few times with a knife (to help vent so it doesn't burst) and cook for for 3-5 minutes. The knife slides through way easier this way! Smaller squash will need about 3 minutes while larger ones will be good to go at 4-5 min.
4. Next grab a lipped baking sheet or a rimmed baking dish.
5. Rub the cut side of the squash with a teeny bit of olive oil and place on your baking dish/sheet cut side down. Roast for about 40 minutes, or until tender and easily pierced with a fork. Cooking time will vary a bit depending on the size of your squash, and larger squash will need to roast a bit longer to tenderize. Once ready, the once rock-hard exterior of the squash will be visibly softened with a tender interior.
