Ingredients

  • 1 medium spaghetti squash
  • 2 teaspoons olive oil divided
  • 1 pound baby bella mushrooms thin sliced
  • 1 medium zucchini thin sliced
  • 3 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme leaves or 1 tablespoon fresh
  • 1/4 cup heavy cream
  • 1/3 cup Parmesan cheese shredded - optional

Instructions

  • Begin with the spaghetti squash
  • Preheat oven to 450°
  • Slice squash lengthwise down the middle. Scoop out seeds.
  • Rub lightly with 1 tsp. olive oil, season with salt and pepper, to taste, and place flesh side down on a baking sheet.
  • Bake 30 minutes or until fork tender. Time will vary depending on the size of your squash.
  • When cool enough to handle, scrape out flesh with a fork and set aside.
  • Prepare the Mushroom Zucchini Sauce
  • In a large pot, heat olive oil over Medium High heat.
  • Add the mushrooms and zucchini, stirring frequently 2-3 minutes, until they begin to soften.
  • Stir in the garlic and thyme. Continue cooking 1-2 minutes, reducing heat if necessary to avoid burning the garlic.
  • Reduce heat to Low and slowly stir in the cream. Allow to simmer - but not boil - until heated through. Adjust seasoning to taste.
  • Add spaghetti squash (do this gradually as you may not use it all, depending on the size of your squash). Gently toss to coat. Sprinkle with Parmesan and serve warm.
