Chicken Alfredo Stuffed Spaghetti Squash
1 Medium Sized Spaghetti Squash
2 Tbsp Olive Oil
1//2 C Shallots - chopped
4 - 5 Cloves Garlic - minced
1/4 C Flour
2 C Milk
1/3 C Parmesan Cheese - grated
1/2 tsp Pepper
1 Rotisserie Chicken - shredded (approx 2 cups)
2 C Mozzarella Cheese - shredded & divided

Cut squash in half and scoop out the seeds. Rub with oil and place
face down on a baking sheet.
Bake @ 400F for 40 -50 minutes. Squash should be fork tender.
Let cool enough for you to handle. Shred squash with a fork to make the strands.
In a large skillet, over medium heat drizzle olive oil, sauté shallots for 3 -4 minutes, add garlic and stir until fragrant, approx 2 - 3 minutes. Add flour to pan and stir for 2 - 3 minutes so the flour cooks. Gradually add the milk stirring until smooth. Let this cook for a few minutes and the sauce will start to thicken. Next add the parmesan & pepper. Mix until blended.
Remove from heat and stir in the chicken mixture & 1 cup of shredded mozzarella. Add this to the shredded squash mixing well. Divide mixture and place back into the squash shell, top with remaining shredded mozzarella.

The measurements above are just loose suggestions, and really need to be adjusted to your own tastes. The size of

They are simple and fresh ingredients, so there really is no wrong way to make this dish.
The best spaghetti squash doesn't get more super simple than that!
Best Spaghetti Squash ...super simple, low fat, low carb recipe
When buying a spaghetti squash, choose one that seems heavy for its size.
carefully slice the squash into halves. Cut the squash across instead of lengthwise, this will make for longer noodles.
Place cut sides down in shallow water in a roasting pan.
Bake for about 30-45 minutes at 350 degrees Fahrenheit. You can check on the squash after 30 minutes; the cooking time will vary
according to the size of the squash.
It's important not to overcook the squash, slightly crunchy strands of squash add great texture to a dish, and overcooking the squash will
make the ingredient mushy.
Remove squash from the oven and carefully turn halves over to check for doneness --the water will be hot and steam will be trapped under
the squash, so be cautious.
Allow squash to sit 5-10 minutes to cool slightly for easier handling.
Insert a fork and twist out strands of spaghetti. Once the fork has done its job, use a spoon to scrape out the remaining squash; it's edible
all the way to the rind,
so don't waste any!
Heat a skillet and melt cooking oil on medium heat.
Add finely chopped garlic and cook 1-2 minutes until it begins to color up. If you like a bit of heat with your dish, add some red pepper flakes
as well.
Add a bit of butter for extra flavor (this is optional).
Add the spaghetti squash to the skillet and mix with the garlic.
Add salt and pepper to taste, add lemon zest and juice, and stir.
Turn off the heat and add in a bit of dark, flavorful olive oil.
You can also stir in a bit of freshly grated Parmesan Cheese if desire, but this is optional.
Add fresh chopped parsley for bright flavor and color, and mix well.
And that's it.
This recipe makes a nice side dish or a very healthy entree.
