Ingredients

Scale

  • 8 ounces mushrooms, sliced
  • 4 cups fresh spinach

  • 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).

  3. In a skillet over medium heat, sauté diced onion until translucent. Add garlic and mushrooms; cook until browned. Stir in spinach until wilted, then remove from heat.
  4. In a mixing bowl, blend cream cheese, Parmesan cheese, and nutmeg with the cooked vegetables until well combined. Season with salt and pepper.
  5. Scrape out spaghetti strands from roasted squash and mix with the filling.
  6. Spoon mixture back into squash halves, top with mozzarella cheese, and bake for an additional 10-15 minutes until cheese is melted.
  7. Let cool slightly before serving warm.
