Ingredients

Servings
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 4 cloves garlic minced
  • ¼ cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 ½ cups 2% milk or more, as needed
  • ½ cup half and half*
  • ½ teaspoon dried thyme
  • ½ teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1 cup shredded Mozzarella cheese
  • ¼ cup shredded fontina cheese
  • ¼ cup shredded gruyere cheese
  • ¼ cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
  • Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh chives

For the spaghetti squash

  • 1 2-3 pounds spaghetti squash
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Lightly oil a baking sheet or coat with nonstick spray.
  2. 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.
  3. Place squash, cut-side down, onto the prepared baking dish. Place into oven and roast until tender, about 35-45 minutes.
  4. Remove from oven and let rest until cool enough to handle.
  5. Using a fork, scrape the flesh to create long strands.
  6. 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.
  7. 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.
  8. Stir in spaghetti squash until well combined.
  9. Serve immediately, garnished with chives, if desired.

Notes

  • *Half and half is equal parts of whole milk and cream. For 1 cup half and half, you can substitute 3/4 cup whole milk + 1/4 cup heavy cream or 2/3 cup skim or low-fat milk + 1/3 cup heavy cream.
  • *The squash can be placed in the microwave for 2-5 minutes for easier slicing.
