Ingredients

• 1 spaghetti squash
• 2 tablespoons butter
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 2 tablespoons flour
• 1/3 cup Parmesan cheese
• 1 cup cheddar cheese
• 2 cups spinach
• 2 cups cooked chicken
• Salt and pepper to taste
• 1-1/4 cups milk
• 1/4 cup half-and-half cream
• 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
• 3 cloves garlic
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 1 medium spaghetti squash, halved and seeded
• 2 tablespoons butter
• 3 cloves garlic, minced
• 2 tablespoons white whole wheat flour
• 1-1/4 cups milk
• 1/4 cup half-and-half
• 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
• 1/3 cup grated Parmesan cheese
• 2 cups cooked diced chicken
• 2 cups baby spinach, roughly chopped
• Salt and pepper to taste
• 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese

Directions

• Preheat oven to 400F. Drizzle olive oil over cut side of spaghetti squash halves and place upside-down on a baking sheet. Bake spaghetti squash at 400F 30-40 minutes or until tender. Remove from oven and once cool enough to handle, use a fork to shred inside of boats into spaghetti strands. Set aside.
• In a medium saucepan over medium-high heat, saute garlic in butter until just fragrant. Whisk in flour until smooth, then gradually add milk and half-and-half, whisking constantly until combined. Bring sauce to a simmer over medium-high heat, stirring occasionally until thickened. Remove from heat and stir in nutmeg, Parmesan, chicken, spinach, and salt and pepper to taste.
• Divide chicken alfredo sauce between the two spaghetti squash boats and gently toss with fork until filling is combined. Divide cheddar cheese between the two boats, sprinkling evenly on top.
• Bake spaghetti squash boats an additional 15-20 minutes at 375F until cheese is melted and filling is bubbly. Enjoy spaghetti squash right away!
