Delicious spaghetti squash with garlic, Parmesan, crispy bacon, and oregano, finished with a touch of spicy crushed red pepper flakes.
Ingredients:
  • 1 (2 1/2 pound) spaghetti squash, halved and seeded
  • 2 teaspoons olive oil
  • 2 slices bacon, cut into 1 1/2-inch pieces
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 0.5 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 teaspoon chopped fresh oregano
  • 0.25 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes, or more to taste
  • 2 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese
Instructions:
  • Preheat your oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C) and prepare a baking sheet by lining it with parchment paper or foil.
  • Trim the root end of the squash, slice it in half lengthwise, and scoop out the seeds and strands using a spoon. Brush the cut sides with olive oil and place the squash cut-side down on a baking sheet.
  • Roast until the skin is fork-tender and the flesh is soft, approximately 45 minutes.
  • Crisp bacon in a skillet over medium heat until golden and crispy, for about 3 to 4 minutes. Place on a paper towel to drain excess oil.
  • After roasting, allow the squash to cool slightly before using a fork to effortlessly create long, flavorful strands, separating them from the shells.
  • Preheat a large pan over medium heat and melt butter. Sauté garlic until fragrant, around 30 seconds. Add squash strands, coat them with the garlic butter, and cook until heated through, stirring frequently for about 2 minutes.
  • Take the pan off the heat, mix in Parmesan cheese, and season with salt and pepper. Gently stir to coat the strands and allow the cheese to melt. Top with bacon, oregano, and red pepper flakes for garnish.
