Speghetti Squash Alfredo

[Sherri]

If you've never cooked a speghetti squash, you may be puzzled as to how to go about it, but it's really easy: Just stab it several times ( to keep it from exploding), and put it in your microwave on high for 12 to 15 minutes. Then slice it open, and scoop out and discard the seeds. Now take a fork and start scraping at the "meat" of the squash. It will seperate into strands very much like speghetti, only yellow orange color. After cooked it stores well in a zip lock bag for 3 to 4 days. SPEGHETTI SQUASH ALFREDO: 2 cups cooked speghetti squash/ 3 Tbls. butter/ 3 Tbls. heavy cream/ 1 clove garlic, crushed/ 1/4 cup grated or shredded Parmesian cheese/ Simply heat up your squash, and stir in everything else. Stir until the butter is melted, and serve. YIELDS: 4 servings, each with 4 grams of carbohydrates, a trace of fiber, and 3 grams of protein.

This looks very good. I'm adding spaghetti squash as the new veggie next week for the veggie challenge. I was just going to add butter and seasoning, but this looks much better! Thanks for posting it!

Thank you Sheri! You just made my dinner a lot more enjoyable because I am making pasta for the kids and husband and I was bummed because I was only going to have meatballs and a salad - but this will be SO much more filling and my veggie count will be better for the day

I just tasted this, I would give it a 7/10. The sauce was a little rich for me, and I couldnt eat very much of it. But a good change, thats just my two cents

I cooked this last night as a side dish, and everyone in my family except my 18-year-old son loved it! I think the other kids would have had seconds if there had been any left. I used garlic powder and I think I used too much because it was a little garlicy, but we kind of like bold flavors anyway.
