  • -¾ to 1 cup low sodium chicken broth

Preparation

Step 1

You can prepare the spaghetti squash one of two ways: 1) Bake, cut side down in your oven at 350 for 45 minutes or 2) Microwave, cut side down for about 10-12 minutes. Cool enough to handle, remove seeds, and then using a fork, shred the squash.

Step 2

Spray a large sauté pan with non-stick spray or Misto. Over medium heat, sauté the shallots and garlic until shallots soften; about 5 minutes.

Step 3

Add the shredded squash and stir; add salt and pepper if you wish.

Step 4

Add the chicken broth and mix.

Step 5

Add the half and half and mix.

Step 6

Finally, add the cheese and parsley and mix.
