Ingredients:
1 spaghetti squash
1 package sliced mushrooms diced
1 red bell pepper diced
4 scallions sliced white and green separated
1 cup half and half or 1 cup nonfat plain Greek yogurt
2 cups shredded cooked chicken
2 cups shredded cheddar
Directions:
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Roast the spaghetti squash on a baking sheet. Cook for 60-90 minutes until soft. I turn every 30 minutes. Once cool cut in half lengthwise and remove seeds. Use a fork to scrape out spaghetti noodles. (I used half a squash for this recipe).
- Increase heat to 425 degrees if cooking now.
- Spray a 9×13 dish with baking spray.
- Spray a nonstick pan with olive oil. Sauté mushrooms on medium high heat for 5 minutes until they begin to soften. Add pepper, white parts of scallions, cayenne pepper, 1 teaspoon salt, and a twist of pepper.
- Add half and half or yogurt. Reduce heat to medium and simmer until sauce starts to thicken about minutes.
- Add chicken and 1 cup of cheese. Mix.
- Add spaghetti squash noodles and stir until combined.
- Transfer mixture to baking dish.
- Sprinkle with 1 cup shredded cheese.
- Bake 20 minutes if cooking now. If cooking after refrigerating cook for 35-45 minutes until dish is heated through and cheese has melted.
- Remove from oven and add green scallions. Let rest 5 minutes before serving.
