Gluten-Free Spaghetti Squash Recipe

Ingredients:

• 1 medium spaghetti squash
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 4 cloves garlic, minced
• 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
• Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions:

1. Preheat the Oven:

   • Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

2. Prepare the Squash:

   • Carefully cut the spaghetti squash in half lengthwise.
   • Scoop out the seeds and discard them.
   • Brush the cut sides of the squash with 1 tablespoon of olive oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper.

3. Roast the Squash:

   • Place the squash halves, cut side down, on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
   • Roast in the preheated oven for about 35-45 minutes, or until the squash is tender and easily pierced with a fork.

4. Prepare the Garlic Parmesan Mixture:

   • While the squash is roasting, heat the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a small pan over medium heat.
   • Add the minced garlic and sauté for 1-2 minutes until it's fragrant but not browned. Remove it from the heat and set it aside.

5. Scrape the Squash:

   • Once the squash is done roasting, remove it from the oven and let it cool slightly.
   • Use a fork to scrape the flesh of the squash into strands, creating the "spaghetti."

6. Combine and Serve:

   • In a large mixing bowl, combine the roasted spaghetti squash, sautéed garlic, grated Parmesan cheese, and chopped parsley.
   • Toss everything together until well combined.
   • Taste and adjust the seasoning with salt and pepper as needed.

7. Serve Warm:

   • Serve the Roasted Garlic Parmesan Spaghetti Squash immediately, garnished with extra Parmesan cheese and parsley if desired.
