Creamy Spaghetti Squash Mac’n Cheese

So it is beginning to be fall in Atlanta, where I am house sitting for a friend. It is chilly outside, rainy and dreary. It is the kind of day where you don’t want to go outside, let alone get out of bed. So…in a effort to motivate myself I decided to make some creamy Mac’n Cheese.

I wanted to make a mac’n cheese dish that had all the satisfying creaminess without all the “bad stuff” of the traditional version. I made it with spaghetti squash instead of pasta and added Greek yogurt instead of butter. The result…an amazingly delicious dish that was exactly what i wanted on this dreary day.

It was creamy and delicious. Exactly what I wanted!

Local Ingredient: Spaghetti Squash (purchased at the farmers market). 

  • I cut the spaghetti squash in half. I drizzled it with olive oil and seasoned it with sea salt and fresh ground black pepper.
  • I washed and chopped my broccoli
  • Take the roasted spaghetti squash out of the oven. It will be slightly browned and fork tender.
  • Spaghetti squash noodles.
  • Creamy Sauce
  • Creamy Spaghetti Squash Mac n Cheese
