Spaghetti squash served with a creamy pumpkin sauce made with Greek yogurt. Can be made with non-fat Greek yogurt and reduced-fat cheese for a lighter alternative! Ingredients:
cooking spray |
1 spaghetti squash, halved and seeded |
1/4 cup butter |
1 shallot, chopped |
2 cloves garlic, minced |
1/2 (14.5 ounce) can pumpkin puree |
1 cup plain greek yogurt |
1/4 cup grated parmesan cheese |
1 teaspoon white truffle oil |
salt and ground black pepper to taste |
Directions:
1. Preheat an oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Coat a baking sheet with cooking spray.
2. Place the squash halves cut-side down onto the prepared baking sheet.
3. Bake in the preheated oven until the squash skin is easily pierced with a fork, 40 to 45 minutes. Remove from oven and allow to cool. Once the squash is cool enough to handle, shred squash flesh from rind using a fork; set aside in a large bowl.
4. Melt the butter in a skillet over medium heat; cook and stir the shallot and garlic in the hot butter until softened, 3 to 5 minutes. Stir the pumpkin puree, Greek yogurt, and Parmesan cheese with the shallot and garlic until well combined; cook until hot. Remove from heat and scrape the sauce into the bowl with the squash. Drizzle with the truffle oil; season with salt and pepper.
