Servings: 8
Ingredients
- 3 pounds spaghetti squash
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1/4 cup minced red onion
- 4 cloves garlic , finely minced
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 cup chopped parsley
- 1/2 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
- Pierce squash a few times all over with a sharp knife.
- Place on a baking sheet and cook for 1 hour. Let cool for 15 minutes.
- Cut squash in half, lengthwise. Remove and discard the seeds and pulp.
- Using a fork, scrape the rest of the squash to get long strands (like spaghetti.) The squash should have a slight crunch (al dente.) Place in a bowl and keep warm.
- In a large nonstick sauté pan, melt the butter over medium heat. Add onion; cook for 3-5 minutes until soft. Add in the garlic and stir until fragrant, about 30 seconds.
