Creating Garlic Parmesan Stuffed Spaghetti Squash w/ Chicken & Spinach is a rewarding process. Follow these easy steps to achieve a meal bursting with flavor:

1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Prepare a baking sheet for the spaghetti squash.
2. Prepare the Squash: Cut the spaghetti squash in half lengthwise. Remove the seeds and pulp, then drizzle with olive oil. Season with salt and pepper.
3. Roast the Squash: Place the squash halves cut side down on the baking sheet. Roast in the preheated oven for about 30-35 minutes until tender.
4. Cook the Filling: In a skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and minced garlic, cooking until softened. Stir in the chopped spinach and cook until wilted.
5. Combine Ingredients: In a mixing bowl, combine the shredded chicken, sautéed spinach and onion, grated Parmesan cheese, Italian seasoning, and red pepper flakes. Mix well until all ingredients are evenly coated.
6. Stuff the Squash: Remove the roasted squash from the oven and flip them cut side up. Carefully shred the insides with a fork to create “spaghetti” strands. Spoon the chicken and spinach mixture into each half, packing it in well.
7. Bake Again: Return the stuffed squash to the oven and bake for an additional 10-15 minutes, until golden and bubbling.

With these simple steps, you’ll create a deliciously stuffed spaghetti squash that is not only fulfilling but also visually pleasing.
