Spaghetti Squash Au Gratin Recipe

Materials

• 1 medium spaghetti squash
• pinch of salt
• pinch of black pepper
• 2 tablespoons of olive oil
• 1 tablespoon of minced onion powder
• 1 teaspoon of garlic powder
• 1 tablespoon of Italian seasoning
• 3 ⁄4 cup of plain Greek yogurt
• 1 ⁄2 cup of cheddar cheese
• 1 ⁄2 cup of mozzarella cheese
• 1 ⁄4 cup of Parmesan cheese plus more for topping
• 4 slices of cooked bacon roughly chopped
• parsley for garnish if desired

Instructions

• Preheat oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit.
• Poke holes all over squash with a fork. Put squash into the oven for 4-6 minutes, or until slightly softened. (In five minute intervals.)
• Cut squash in half lengthwise. With a spoon, scoop out seeds and discard it.
• Drizzle olive oil over both halves of the squash and rub it all over (including the skin). Sprinkle squash with salt and pepper.
• Place squash on an aluminum foil wrapped pan and bake for 50-60 minutes, or until flesh is tender.
• Remove squash from the oven, allow to slightly cool, until safe to handle. Put oven on broiler setting.
• With a fork, scrape the flesh of the squash removing most of the inside leaving only a sturdy shell behind.
• Place the spaghetti squash flesh into a medium bowl and add remaining ingredients. Mix well together. Divide the mixture into the center of both squash halves. Top with additional cheese and bacon.
• Place squash into the oven and broil until cheese is melted and golden, about 2-4 minutes.
