Garlic Parmesian Spaghetti Squash
Garlic Parmesan Spaghetti Squash
To say that this dish is garlicky and cheesy is an understatement. The garlic and shallots together along with the Parmesan cheese create such a delicious and comforting flavor. First, the spaghetti squash is roasted in the oven, similar to how I prepared it in this baked spaghetti squash with tomato meat sauce dish. Then, it is simply tossed in a mixture of garlic, shallot and Parmesan cheese. The result was a super garlicky and cheesy vegetarian dish. Enjoy!
