Craving Alfredo but looking for a lighter twist? Say hello to Spaghetti Squash Alfredo! This dish is creamy, dreamy, and oh-so-delicious, with all the rich flavors you love but without the guilt. Perfect for a cozy night in or impressing your dinner guests. Let’s get squashing!

Ingredients:

• 1 large spaghetti squash
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• Salt and pepper to taste
• 2 tablespoons butter
• 3 garlic cloves, minced
• 1 cup heavy cream
• 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
• 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
• Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions:

1. Prep the Squash: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Carefully cut the spaghetti squash in half lengthwise and scoop out the seeds.
2. Roast the Squash: Drizzle the inside of each half with olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Place the halves cut side down on a baking sheet and roast for 35-40 minutes, or until the flesh is tender and easily shredded with a fork.
3. Make the Alfredo Sauce: While the squash is roasting, melt the butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant. Pour in the heavy cream and bring to a gentle simmer. Stir in the Parmesan cheese and nutmeg, cooking until the sauce is smooth and thickened, about 3-5 minutes.
4. Prepare the Squash Noodles: Once the squash is done roasting, use a fork to scrape out the strands of squash into a large bowl. These will look like spaghetti noodles.
5. Combine and Serve: Pour the Alfredo sauce over the spaghetti squash strands and toss to combine. Serve hot, garnished with fresh parsley.

Enjoy your guilt-free indulgence!
