Ingredients
- 1 medium spaghetti squash
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 1/2 yellow onion , chopped
- 1 garlic clove , minced
- 1 cup plain goat's milk yogurt , or greek yogurt
- 3 oz . raw goat cheddar , shredded and divided
- 1 teaspoon sea salt , or to taste
- black pepper , to taste
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400F and line a baking sheet with a Silpat or parchment paper. Cut the spaghetti squash in half, and remove the seeds. Place the squash halves cut-side-down on the baking sheet, and cook for 35-45 minutes, or until a fork can easily pierce the outer shell.
- Once you have removed the cooked squash from the oven, melt the butter in a skillet over medium-high heat and saute the chopped onion and garlic until tender and slightly golden, about 5 minutes.
- Transfer the cooked onion and garlic to a large mixing bowl, and combine with the yogurt and 2 oz. of shredded goat cheddar, and season with salt and pepper. When the spaghetti squash is cool enough to handle, use a fork to scrape the noodle-like strands into the bowl, and mix well.
- Transfer the mixture to a 2.5-quart casserole dish, and smooth the top with a spatula. Sprinkle the remaining ounce of goat cheddar over the top, and return to the oven to bake for 30 minutes at 400F.
- The casserole is ready when the top is a light golden brown, which makes for a crunchy crust! Serve immediately.
