Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Savory Baked Spaghetti Squash Casserole.
Step 1
Start by preheating your oven to a cozy 350°F (175°C).
Step 2
While that warms up, grab an 8x8-inch baking dish and give it a light spritz of cooking spray to prevent sticking.
Step 3
Now, let’s prepare the star of the show: the spaghetti squash.
Step 4
Carefully slice the squash in half and add a couple of tablespoons of water to each half.
Step 5
Place the squash cut side down in a microwave-safe dish and pop it in the microwave for about 10 minutes, or until it’s tender and ready to be transformed into delicious strands.
Step 6
Once it’s cooked, take a fork and gently scrape out those spaghetti-like strands, transferring them to a mixing bowl.
Step 7
In that bowl, combine the fluffy squash with some grated Parmesan cheese, a splash of heavy cream, a beaten egg, garlic powder, Italian seasoning, salt, and a dash of black pepper.
Step 8
Stir everything together until it’s beautifully blended.
Step 9
Now, pour this delightful mixture into your prepared baking dish, spreading it out evenly.
Step 10
To finish it off, sprinkle a generous layer of shredded Cheddar cheese on top.
Step 11
Slide the dish into your preheated oven and let it bake for about 30 minutes, or until the top is a lovely golden brown and the casserole is set.
Step 12
The aroma wafting through your kitchen will be irresistible, and soon you’ll have a comforting, cheesy spaghetti squash casserole that’s sure to impress! Enjoy every bite!.
