Cheesy Baked Spaghetti Squash (adapted from skinnytaste.com)
1 T. extra virgin olive oil
1 small yellow onion, diced
1/4 c. all purpose flour
2 c. skim milk
1 c. reduced sodium chicken broth (or vegetable broth)
2 t. salt
1 t. pepper
8 oz. reduced fat sharp cheddar cheese
4 c. cooked spaghetti squash - about 2 small spaghetti squash (I made mine in the crockpot)
6 oz. baby spinach
2 T. grated Parmesan cheese
Preheat the oven to 375. Spray an 8X11" pan with cooking spray and set aside. Heat the butter and oil in a large sauce pan over medium heat. Add the onions and cook about 2 minutes. Stir in the flour, reduce the heat to low and cook, stirring continually for 1-2 minutes. Add the milk and and chicken broth and continue whisking, raising the heat to medium high until it comes to a boil and begins to thicken. Season with salt and pepper. Once thick, remove from the heat and add the cheddar cheese and mix until the cheese is melted. Add the cooked squash and spinach and taste for seasoning, adding more salt and pepper if needed. Pour the squash mixture into the prepared pan and top with the Parmesan cheese. Bake until bubbly and golden brown, about 25-30 minutes. Let sit for 5-10 minutes before serving.
