By MrAntman

Can also add mushrooms, diced ham, or tuna to the dish.

Ingredients

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

Preparation

Step 1

Cut the spaghetti squash in half and remove the seeds. Place in a covered dish with a ¼ inch of water and microwave for 17 minutes. In a medium sized skillet over medium heat, add the 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 dish into a 375º oven for 15 – 20 minutes until golden brown on top.
