Ingredients
Method
Prepare Spaghetti Squash
- Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Cut the spaghetti squash in half lengthwise and scoop out the seeds. Place the halves cut-side down on a baking sheet.
- Roast in the oven for 30-40 minutes, or until the flesh is tender and can be easily shredded with a fork.
Cook Chicken and Spinach
- In a skillet over medium heat, melt the butter. Add minced garlic and sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
- Add the cooked chicken and spinach to the skillet. Cook until the spinach is wilted, about 3-4 minutes.
Make Alfredo Sauce
- Pour in the heavy cream and bring to a simmer. Stir in the parmesan cheese, salt, and pepper. Cook for another 3-5 minutes until the sauce thickens.
Combine and Serve
- Once the spaghetti squash is done, use a fork to shred the flesh into strands. Add the squash to the skillet with the chicken and spinach, then pour the alfredo sauce over the top.
- Toss everything together until well combined. Serve hot, garnished with additional parmesan if desired.

Notes
For a lighter version, you can substitute the heavy cream with a low-fat alternative or use a cauliflower-based sauce.
