Cheesy Spaghetti Squash Gratin

Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Cheesy Spaghetti Squash Gratin.

1. Step 1

   To start, take your halved spaghetti squash and place it cut side down in a microwave-safe dish.

2. Step 2

   Pour in about a quarter-inch of water, cover it up, and pop it in the microwave for 10 to 12 minutes, or until it’s nice and tender.

3. Step 3

   While that’s cooking, let’s get the flavor going! Melt some light margarine in a medium skillet over medium heat.

4. Step 4

   Toss in sliced onions, a pinch of red pepper flakes, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper.

5. Step 5

   Sauté everything together until the onions turn a lovely golden brown, which should take about 5 to 10 minutes.

6. Step 6

   Now, it’s time to preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a baking dish with some cooking spray to prevent sticking.

7. Step 7

   Once your spaghetti squash is cooked, grab a fork and gently scrape the insides into a bowl, creating those beautiful spaghetti-like strands.

8. Step 8

   Mix those strands with the sautéed onion mixture, a dollop of fat-free sour cream, and half of the shredded Cheddar cheese.

9. Step 9

   Stir it all together until well combined.

10. Step 10

    Next, transfer this delicious mixture into your prepared baking dish and sprinkle the remaining Cheddar cheese on top for that irresistible cheesy goodness.

11. Step 11

    Bake it in the preheated oven for 20 to 25 minutes.

12. Step 12

    If you’re craving a golden, bubbly top, turn on the broiler for the last 2 to 3 minutes, but keep a close eye on it to avoid any burning mishaps.

    Enjoy your delightful spaghetti squash dish that’s not only tasty but also a feast for the eyes!.
