Cheesy Spaghetti Squash

A SET IT AND FORGET IT SPAGHETTI SQUASH RECIPE

Spaghetti squash is such a versatile veggie. Whether you’re making a rustic and hearty side dish for a holiday feast – or making spaghetti squash as a pasta alternative – it’s such a clutch ingredient to have on hand.

This cheesy spaghetti squash is the best of all worlds. From a textural standpoint, there’s the light, pliant crunch from perfectly cooked spaghetti squash – and creaminess from grated Parmesan or Gruyere cheese (btw… you can totally use a combination of those two delicious cheeses).

And the flavor is simple perfection. Spaghetti squash has a light, nutty sweetness with an earthy undertone. And both Gruyere and Parmesan introduce savory umami to the dish without becoming full on salty.

It’s rare that a recipe with so few ingredients attains such full flavored magnificence. And you’re going to love how simple it is to make this cheesy spaghetti squash in your rice cooker.
