Baked Spaghetti Squash with Cheese and Chives

So for dinner one night Normy and I had some Spaghetti Squash and I cooked it with this recipe

So we only ate one half of the squash so we had another half leftover so I wanted to eat it the next day for lunch, but I wanted to do something different so I preheated my oven to 350 degrees and grabbed a little pan and put the other half of the spaghetti squash in it and then I put a little dab of butter, about a teaspoon then I had some extra sharp cheddar cheese, so I grated/shredded about 1/3 cup and sprinkled it over the shredded squash and then I had some freeze dried chives and sprinkled about 1 teaspoon over the cheese and threw the pan in the oven and baked for about 10 minutes, until cheese was melted. Took it out of the oven and let it cool for a few and then ate it. Holy goodness! Tasted soooo good!

Recipe

  • 1 spaghetti Squash. pretty good-sized one…
  • Cut it in half…
  • clean the seeds out
  • Then get a glass baking dish that the squash will fit in and will fit in the microwave and put one half of the squash flat side down and fill half way with water and put in microwave for about 15-20 minutes.
  • once its done, flip it over (don’t burn yourself) and get a fork and scrape the sides and it will look like hash browns. That’s what it reminded me of the first time I saw Jeff do this…Then after scrapping the sides and getting all the squash that will come off the sides and bottom
  • add in about 2 tablespoons of butter
  • and salt and pepper
  • Mix butter and salt and pepper in and I put all the squash over the butter to help it melt and kinda stir it up best you can, then pour it in a bowl and add a little more salt and pepper and you could even add more butter if you wanted too or more pepper
  • So we only ate one half of the squash so we had another half leftover so I wanted to eat it the next day for lunch, but I wanted to do something different so I preheated my oven to 350 degrees and grabbed a little pan and put the other half of the spaghetti squash in it and then I put a little dab of butter, about a teaspoon then I had some extra sharp cheddar cheese, so I grated/shredded about 1/3 cup and sprinkled it over the shredded squash and then I had some freeze dried chives and sprinkled about 1 teaspoon over the cheese and threw the pan in the oven and baked for about 10 minutes, until cheese was melted.
