Preparation

Step 1

Preheat oven to 375.

Slice spaghetti squash in half, and lay face down in a baking dish with a bit of water. Bake for 20-30 minutes, or until tender.

While squash is baking, combine butter and flour in a skillet over medium heat. Whisk to make a roux, add milk and nutmeg, and stir in cheese. Turn heat to low and constantly stir until thickened.

Remove seeds from squash (if you didn’t before) and scrape out squash with a fork, making spaghetti strands. Add to a bowl and pour cheese sauce over top, combining. Season with salt and pepper and top with fresh basil.
