Recipe Summary Pesto Spaghetti Squash

When making this meal for the first time, I wanted to use items I would normally incorporate with pasta, such as pesto and mushrooms. Combining all of these things together creates a wonderful dish that most people would enjoy; I know I did! Serve with some garlic bread and mashed potatoes. Enjoy!

Ingredients | Lunch And Dinner Ideas For 1 Year Old

1 spaghetti squash, halved lengthwise and seeded

3 tablespoons butter, divided

1 onion, sliced

1 cup kale, stems removed and leaves chopped

4 white mushrooms, sliced

1 teaspoon garlic salt

1 teaspoon Italian seasoning

1 teaspoon red pepper flakes

1 teaspoon olive oil

2 tablespoons prepared pesto

¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese

Directions

Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Grease a baking sheet.

Place squash skin side down on prepared baking sheet. Bake until cooked through, about 1 hour. Remove from oven; cool for 10 minutes. Once squash is cool enough to handle, scrape flesh into string-like strands with a fork. Place in a bowl and set aside.

Melt 1 tablespoon of butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add onion; cook and stir until onion begins to turn translucent. Stir in kale and mushrooms; reduce heat to medium low.

Stir in squash, remaining 2 tablespoons butter, garlic salt, Italian seasoning, and red pepper flakes; cook for 2 minutes. Remove from stove and place squash mixture in a large bowl.

Stir olive oil and pesto into the squash mixture. Slowly add grated Parmesan cheese, stirring until evenly mixed.
