Hen Alfredo Spaghetti Squash Boats is a nourishing and comfy meal in the course of the colder months.
Spaghetti squash is such an awesome vegetable to exchange pasta while you’re consuming a grain-free eating regimen. When it’s cooked correctly, it maintains the crunch and mouth-feel of stringy pasta.
Once I prepare dinner spaghetti squash as a facet dish, I lower it in half, scoop out the seeds, lower it into 2″ rings, lay the rings flat on a baking sheet and bake for one hour at 400ºF. It’s such a simple approach to put together this vegetable with out it getting mushy.
For this recipe, I wished to maintain the squash in “boats” however nonetheless preserve that crunchy texture. So, these are lower in half and baked, cut-side down.
Whereas they're baking, you'll be able to mix the hen Alfredo combination after which mix all of it when the squash has baked.
The mix of the flavors topped with the cheese is dynamite!
These spaghetti squash boats are fairly filling, so that you may discover one “boat” and only a gentle salad or some steamed broccoli on the facet is lots for a full meal for two.
