CHICKEN SPAGHETTI SQUASH

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F. Cut the squash in half crosswise using a serrated knife. Dig out and discard the seeds with a spoon. Place into an 8-by-8-inch microwave-safe casserole dish with 2 tablespoons water. Cover the dish with plastic wrap and microwave on high until the squash is very tender and the inside can easily be flaked with a fork, 13 to 14 minutes. Use a fork to scrap the sides of the squash, separating the strands. Leave the scraped strands in the squash. Drain and dry the casserole dish.
• Meanwhile, heat the oil in a large oven-proof skillet over medium-high heat. Add the mushrooms and cook, stirring often, until they have released most of their moisture and start to brown, about 5 minutes. Add the bell pepper, scallion whites, cayenne pepper, 1 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper. Cook, stirring, until the peppers are soft, about 5 minutes. Add the half-and-half and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to medium and simmer until the liquid has reduced slightly and starts to thicken, 5 to 7 minutes.
• Fold in the chicken and 2 cups Cheddar and stir until the cheese has melted. Add the spaghetti squash strands and stir until well combined. Transfer the squash mixture to the casserole dish and sprinkle the top with the remaining Cheddar. Bake until the cheese is melted and bubbling, 17 to 20 minutes. Let rest 5 minutes. Sprinkle with the scallion greens before serving.

SPAGHETTI SQUASH CASSEROLE WITH CHICKEN

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C).
• Drizzle cut sides of spaghetti squash with 1 tablespoon olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Place on a sheet pan with the cut sides down.
• Roast in the preheated oven until a fork easily penetrates the skin, about 30 minutes. Remove from the oven and set aside until cool enough to handle. Shred flesh with a fork until it resembles spaghetti noodles; transfer to a colander to drain for 20 minutes. Lower oven temperature to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
• While squash is draining, heat remaining olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add onion; cook and stir for 2 minutes. Stir in garlic and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute. Add ground chicken and season with salt and pepper. Cook until chicken is browned and crumbly with no pink remaining, 5 to 7 minutes. Remove from the heat and stir in spaghetti sauce.
• Transfer drained squash to a 9x13-inch casserole dish. Add sauce mixture, spinach, 1/2 of the mozzarella cheese and 1/2 of the Parmesan cheese; toss to combine. Sprinkle remaining cheeses over the top.
• Bake in the preheated oven until casserole is bubbling and cheeses have melted, about 20 minutes.
