Home Cooking With Jess – Spaghetti Squash

If you haven’t cooked with spaghetti squash, give it a shot. You simply cut it in half, put them cut side down in a microwaveable dish with a half-inch of water, and cook for 10 minutes.

Let it cool and it shreds very easily with a fork.

I started with butter, garlic, and chopped Vidalia onion.  Added 1/3 cup of cream cheese, 1/4 heavy whipping cream, salt, pepper, and mushrooms. Stirred in a hand full of Parmesan cheese and then roasted red peppers and lots of spinach.

Spaghetti Squash Egg Nests

I mixed together The spaghetti squash, a handful of spinach, and a little salt and pepper.  Put into small piles on a parchment-lined baking sheet.  Cooked on 350 for 10 minutes.

Topped with a sprinkle of cheese, browned sausage and a poached egg.  (I haven’t been a fan of cooking eggs in the oven. I don’t like the film on the top, so I add them later. But you do you!)
