Spaghetti Squash Au Gratin

By ccavaletti

Ingredients

• 1 medium spaghetti squash
• 2 Tbsp butter
• 1 small yellow onion, cut in half and very thinly sliced
• 1/4 tsp red pepper flakes, or more if you like it spicy
• 1 tsp fresh thyme
• 1/2 sour cream
• 1/2 c shredded cheddar cheese

Preparation

Step 1

Cut the spaghetti squash in half and remove the seeds. Place in a covered dish with a 1/4 inch of water and microwave for 10 - 12 minutes.

In a medium sized skillet over medium heat, add butter, onions, red pepper and thyme and cook until the onions are slightly brown in color. Salt and pepper to taste.

Using a fork, scrape the insides of the squash and transfer to a small bowl. Combine the squash, onions, sour cream and half the cheese together and mix well. Transfer the mixture to a buttered baking dish and top with remaining cheese.

Place into a 375º oven for 15 - 20 minutes longer until golden brown on top.
