Spaghetti Squash Mac and Cheese

This post got lost in the cyber world from last Friday October 4th! I went looking for it, and it said it has ‘missed it’s schedule’ Ahhhh! So here it is again!

It’s squash season here in Wisconsin! This past weekend, my husband Nick and I went to the West Allis Farmers Market, and I got a beautiful Spaghetti Squash that I turned into Spaghetti Squash Mac N’ Cheese for Five Ingredient Friday, yum!! Here are some fun little pictures of our trip:

Spaghetti Squash Mac N Cheese

Print Rate
Prep Time: 20 minutes minutes
Cook Time: 15 minutes minutes
Total Time: 35 minutes minutes
Servings: 2 -4

Ingredients

  • 1. Spaghetti Squash mine was 3.5-4 lbs
  • 2. 1 Egg
  • 3. 1/2 cup Ricotta Cheese I used Part Skim Ricotta
  • 4. 1-1.5 cups Sharp Cheddar shredded
  • 5. Seasonings: 1 tsp each Salt Pepper, Garlic Salt

Instructions

  • To cook the spaghetti squash I just wiped the squash clean, then poked a fork into the squash 3 times, and put it in a microwave safe bowl and microwaved it for 18 min.
  • Preheat the oven to 450 and take the squash out of the microwave and let sit for 5-10 minutes until it is not to hot to handle. On a cutting board cut the squash in half, and then clean out the inner seeds. With two forks, pull the 'spaghetti' of the squash away from the sides of the skin and put it in a big bowl, save the emptied skins to cook in. In a separate bowl whisk together the egg, ricotta and seasonings, and then 1 cup of the cheddar. Pour over squash and incorporate well. Scoop half the mixture back into each emptied squash side and sprinkle a little cheddar on top (I poked two little holes at the bottom of the emptied squash to let any liquid release), and put in an oven safe baking dish and bake for 15 minutes, let cool for a few minutes and enjoy!

    Came across this recipe while looking for something new to make with the spaghetti squash. I was skeptical at best because of how simplified the Mac and cheese part of this was. As it turns out, it was just a advertised… Simple and delicious. I’ll definitely turn to this again and again as a main dish by adding some chicken and broccoli. Thanks for the recipe!

With end of school and life business, May was actu With end of school and life business, May was actually a slower reading/listening month than I’ve had in a while. I read/listened to 4 books this month, and they were all romancy books 💕
Meet Me At The Lake - 5/5. I loved Carley Fortunes first book Every Summer After (one my favorites ever) and her next book did not disappoint. I liked it a smidge less than her first one, but it was an all around good book!
Yours Truly - 4/5. If you’ve ever had anxiety, this book does a great job of having characters with crippling anxiety and describes it well. I did feel like some of this was very repetitive and just wanted the story to move a little faster. And have the good parts be a little longer.
Romantic Comedy - 3.5/5. This book got a TON of hype and tbh I’m not quite sure it lived up to it, it didn’t for me. It was just ok!
The Spanish Love Deception - 4/5 – I thought this was super cute, but again, a little too long to get to the good part of the story, I had to skip a few beginning chapters, but overall cute!
