How To Make baked spaghetti squash, mushrooms & cheese

  • Step 1
    Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
  • Step 2
    Cut the squash in 1/2 lengthwise; remove & discard seeds. Place squash on a baking sheet. Bake until tender, about 1 hour. Separate the strands of squash with a fork & place in a medium bowl; discard shells. Maintain the oven temperature.
  • Step 3
    Heat butter & oil in a large saucepan over medium heat. Add onions & mushrooms & cook about 8 minutes. Stir in flour. Reduce heat to low & cook, stirring continually 3 - 4 minutes.
  • Step 4
    Add milk & chicken broth & continue whisking, raising heat to medium high until it comes to a boil & becomes smooth & thick, about 2 minutes stirring; season with salt & pepper.
  • Step 5
    Once it becomes thick, remove from heat, add cheddar cheese & mix well until cheese is melted. Adjust salt & pepper to taste, add cooked spaghetti squash & pour into a large baking dish & sprinkle parmesan cheese on top. Bake until bubbly & golden 25 - 30 minutes.
