Description

Spaghetti squash (and pumpkin) are much lower in carbohydrates than other winter squashes. When I set out to devise a low-carb alternative to the traditional sweet potato casserole (marshmallows optional), I kept coming back to the idea of a creamy spaghetti squash casserole.

Ingredients

  • 1 whole Medium Spaghetti Squash (about 2 Pounds)
  • ½ Tablespoons Unsalted Butter
  • 2 cloves Garlic, Minced
  • 1 Tablespoon Minced Fresh Sage Leaves
  • ¾ cups Whole Milk Ricotta
  • 2 ounces, weight Pine Nuts (pignoli), Toasted Until Fragrant And Brown
  • Salt And Pepper To Taste (I Used About 1.5 Teaspoon Salt And Lots Of Pepper)
  • 1 Tablespoon (up To 2 Tablespoons) Parmesan Cheese

Preparation

1. Cut the spaghetti squash in half lengthwise, scoop out the seeds, and microwave on high for 6-8 minutes. Shred the flesh with a fork and then scoop it out with a big spoon into a casserole dish.
2. Heat the butter over medium heat until nut brown. Add the garlic and sage leaves, saute until garlic is straw-colored, then add to the squash.
3. Add the ricotta, pine nuts, salt, and pepper to the squash. Smooth out the top.
4. Sprinkle the top evenly with a layer of Parmesan.
5. Broil until the top is brown in spots.
