Spaghetti Squash Au Gratin


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) 
Directions: 
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
