Description

Ingredients

• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 4 cloves garlic, minced
• 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
• 1 1/2 cups 2% milk, or more, as needed
• 1/2 cup half and half*
• 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
• 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
• 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
• 1/4 cup shredded fontina cheese
• 1/4 cup shredded Gruyere cheese
• 1/4 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
• Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
• 2 tablespoons chopped fresh chives
• 1 (2-3 pounds) spaghetti squash
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste

Directions

• Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Lightly oil a baking sheet or coat with nonstick spray. Cut the squash in half lengthwise from stem to tail and scrape out the seeds.* Drizzle with olive oil and season with salt and pepper, to taste. Place squash, cut-side down, onto the prepared baking dish. Place into oven and roast until tender, about 35-45 minutes. Remove from oven and let rest until cool enough to handle. Using a fork, scrape the flesh to create long strands. Melt butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Add garlic, and cook, stirring frequently, until fragrant, about 1-2 minutes. Whisk in flour until lightly browned, about 1 minute. Gradually whisk in milk, half and half, thyme and oregano. Cook, whisking constantly, until incorporated, about 1-2 minutes. Stir in cheeses until slightly thickened, about 1-2 minutes. If the mixture is too thick, add more milk as needed; season with salt and pepper, to taste. Stir in spaghetti squash until well combined. Serve immediately, garnished with chives, if desired.
