03 Method

Step 1

Preheat oven to 350. Cut squash in half lengthwise. Use a spoon to scoop out the seeds and discard them. Spray flesh side of squash with cooking spray or brush with oil. Place flesh side down in a large baking dish and bake for 30-45 minutes or until soft and tender. Remove from the oven and let sit for 15 minutes.
Step 2

Loosen the spaghetti squash with a fork and set flesh side up in the baking dish. In a skillet, add oil, garlic and cream cheese.
Step 3

Heat on low heat, stirring frequently until all cheese is melted. Stir in cottage cheese, and spinach and heat until warm, about 2 minutes. Stir in Parmesan cheese. Divide mixture in half and spread onto each half of the squash. Season with salt and pepper. Sprinkle 1/2 cup of mozzarella cheese onto each squash boat.
Step 4

Bake for 20-25 minutes or until bubbly. Broil for 2 minutes until cheese just begins to brown. Serve immediately. This takes at least 30-45 minutes to cook the squash to make it tender. Then another 20 minutes to cook the cheese/filing on top. Add about 5-7 minutes for the filling to cook on the stove. The time to prep is about 15 minutes.
