Ingredients:
- 1 ¼ cups heavy cream
- 6 ounces fresh spinach
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh sage
- 1 tablespoon chopped fresh thyme leaves
- 1 cup shredded gruyere cheese
- 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella
- 4 cloves minced garlic
- 1 cup shredded provolone cheese
- 2 Angel Hair Winter Spaghetti Squash (you can also try
- 1/4 cup grated pecorino romano
- kosher salt and black pepper
Directions:
- Preheat the oven to 425° F. While the oven is preheating, place the whole angel hair squash in the oven. Remove once preheated (this will help soften the squash to cut).
- Slice the squash into halves and remove the seeds.
- In a medium bowl, mix together the cream, spinach, 1 tablespoon of sage, thyme, gruyere, mozzarella, and garlic. Season with salt and pepper.
- Place the squash face up on a baking sheet and season with salt and pepper. Sprinkle 1/2 of the provolone cheese into the bottom of each squash, then evenly divide the cream/cheese mix among the squash cavities. Top with the remaining provolone and pecorino. Cover with foil.
- Bake the squash for 30 minutes. Remove the foil from the squash and continue to bake for another 15-20 minutes or until the squash is tender and the cheese is golden brown on top.
- Using a fork, scrape the squash into strands, mixing the alfredo sauce with the squash.
- Eat straight from the squash shell, or scrape "noodles" and sauce onto a serving dish. Enjoy!
