Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 medium spaghetti squash
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • ½ cup diced onion
  • 2 cloves garlic (minced)
  • ½ cup plain Greek yogurt
  • 1½ cups shredded sharp cheddar cheese (divided)
  • ¼ tsp salt
  • ¼ tsp black pepper

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (205°C). Halve the spaghetti squash lengthwise, scoop out the seeds, brush with olive oil, and roast cut-side down on a baking sheet for 35–40 minutes until tender.
  2. In a skillet over medium heat, sauté diced onions in olive oil until soft (about 5 minutes). Add minced garlic and cook for another minute before removing from heat.
  3. Once the squash has cooled slightly, shred it into noodle-like strands using a fork.
  4. In a large bowl, mix shredded squash with sautéed onions and garlic, Greek yogurt, one cup of cheese, salt, pepper, and any optional spices you like.
  5. Transfer the mixture to a greased casserole dish and top with remaining cheese. Bake at 375°F (190°C) for about 20–25 minutes until hot and bubbly.
  6. Let cool slightly before serving as a light main dish or alongside other favorites.
