When making this spaghetti squash dish for the first time, I wanted to use items I would normally incorporate with pasta, such as pesto and mushrooms. It's tastes wonderful and I think most people would enjoy; I know I did! Serve with garlic bread.

Ingredients

  • spaghetti squash, halved lengthwise and: 1 piece (seeded)
  • butter: 3 Tbsp (divided)
  • onion: 1 piece (sliced)
  • kale, stems removed and leaves: 1 cup (chopped)
  • white mushrooms: 4 piece (sliced)
  • garlic salt: 1 tsp
  • italian seasoning: 1 tsp
  • red pepper flakes: 1 tsp
  • olive oil: 1 tsp
  • prepared pesto: 2 Tbsp
  • Parmesan cheese: 0.25 cup (grated)

  2. Place squash skin-side down on prepared baking sheet. Bake until cooked through, about 1 hour. Remove from oven; cool for 10 minutes. Once squash is cool enough to handle, scrape flesh into string-like strands with a fork. Place in a bowl and set aside.
