Buttered Spaghetti Squash Noodles Recipes

SPAGHETTI SQUASH NOODLES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Place squash halves, cut-sides down, in a baking dish. Add about 1/2 inch water to the dish.
• Bake in the preheated oven until tender when pierced in the middle with a knife, about 30 minutes.
• While the squash is baking, heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add bell peppers, onion, zucchini, and carrot; saute until beginning to soften, about 5 minutes. The zucchini will add water to the pan; that's okay, it will cook out. Add garlic and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute. Add parsley flakes, salt, and pepper. Remove from the heat.
• At the same time, heat spaghetti sauce in a saucepan over medium heat until warm.
• Remove squash from the oven and let cool slightly. When you can handle it, use a fork to remove the strands of flesh; place in a large bowl.
• Add sauteed vegetables to the spaghetti squash and toss to combine. Mix in spaghetti sauce and serve.

BAKED SPAGHETTI SQUASH

Steps:

• Heat the oven to 450 degrees. Brush the cut side of each squash half with 1 tablespoon olive oil, then season with salt and pepper. Place squash, cut-sides down, on a parchment-lined baking sheet and roast until the squash is tender when poked with a fork, 35 to 40 minutes.
• Meanwhile, in a small bowl, stir together the Parmesan, panko, garlic, thyme and the remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil. Season with salt and pepper.
• Flip the squash and use a fork to scrape the squash into spaghetti strands. Stir in half the mozzarella, if using, then sprinkle the squash with the remaining mozzarella and the panko mixture. Roast until the top is golden brown and mozzarella has melted, 20 to 25 minutes.
