Method
 

How to Make Spinach and Artichoke Stuffed Spaghetti Squash
  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). This ensures a perfectly baked spaghetti squash that’s tender and ready for stuffing.
  2. Cut the spaghetti squash in half lengthwise and scoop out the seeds. This step is essential for creating the bowls that will hold your delicious filling.
  3. Bake the squash halves cut-side down on a baking sheet for 30-40 minutes. You want them fork-tender and slightly caramelized for the best flavor and texture.
  4. Mix together the cooked spinach, chopped artichoke hearts, softened cream cheese, grated Parmesan, shredded mozzarella, minced garlic, salt, black pepper, and optional red pepper flakes in a mixing bowl. This creamy blend will be the star of the dish!
  5. Scrape the flesh out of the cooked spaghetti squash with a fork and mix it with the cheese and vegetable filling. This combines all the flavors beautifully and enhances that spaghetti-like texture!
  6. Fill the squash halves with the stuffing mixture and return them to the oven for an additional 15-20 minutes. Bake until the top is bubbly and golden brown—your kitchen will smell divine!
