Creator Notes
Inspired by a recipe from Sprouted Kitchen, I roasted spaghetti squash, tossed the strands with ground meat, sauce, and cheese, and baked it all reduction in the squash. Or now not it is reminiscent of a stuffed pepper, and or now not it is finest iciness comfort food. In actuality feel free to adapt the filling to your tastes. You may well well maybe with out considerations omit the meat and tomato sauce to assemble it vegetarian: Line the shell with pesto, and toss the squash and cheese with extra pesto. —Posie (Harwood) Brien

Sprinkle with salt and pepper and roast them, minimize side up, on a parchment-lined baking sheet till refined (about Forty five minutes to an hour, reckoning on the scale of the squash). Take some distance flung from the oven, but slip away the oven on.

High with the closing cheese and bake in the oven for approximately 15-20 minutes till hot and the cheese bubbles. I treasure to articulate the broiler on for a minute or two at the cease to get the cheese extra toasty.
