The options with this dish are endless, you can make with the the sour cream and cheddar or skip it and go for heavy cream and gruyere with a dash of nutmeg.
Ingredients:
- 1 medium spaghetti squash
- 2 tablespoons butter ( I would use I Can't Believe It's Not Butter)
- 1 small yellow onion, cut in half and very thinly sliced
- ¼ teaspoon red pepper flakes, or more if you like it spicy (don't be a wuss!)
- 1 teaspoon fresh thyme
- ½ cup sour cream
- ½ cup shredded cheddar cheese 9fat free)
Cut the spaghetti squash in half and remove the seeds. Place in a covered dish with a ¼ inch of water and microwave for 10 -12 minutes. In a medium sized skillet over medium heat, add the butter, onions, red pepper and thyme and cook until the onions are slightly brown in color. Salt and pepper to taste. Using a fork, scrape the insides of the squash and transfer to a small bowl. Combine the squash, onions, sour cream and half the cheese together and mix well. Transfer the mixture to a buttered baking dish and top with remaining cheese. Place into a 375ยบ for 15 – 20 minutes until golden brown on top. Serves 6

Great recipe, I think I'll try it with non fat greek yogurt instead of sour cream. Wish me luck!
